Abstract

This report documents the second phase of an architectural and historical intensive survey of residential properties and resources located within the boundaries of the City of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, as of 2019. The first part of the survey consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the southeast one-third of the City of Wauwatosa as the second of three phases covering residential properties in the city. After which, a research effort was conducted to ascertain the architectural and historical significance of the resources identified during the reconnaissance survey. The resulting products of the project were produced according to standards set by the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Division of Historic Preservation and include the following:

Intensive Survey Report

The intensive survey report includes a summary of the research and a brief history of the community. It provides a historical context for the evaluation of historic resources and serves as a means for identifying significant properties, complexes, and districts eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It also contains recommendations for future surveys, research, priorities for National Register listing, and strategies for historic preservation.

Disclaimer: This report was produced and reviewed by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Officer during a period when the provisions of the Covid-19 virus quarantine was in effect. Thus, confirmation in person regarding individual and district eligibility was done remotely rather than on-site in Wauwatosa. National Register of Historic Places potential eligibility must be confirmed subsequently before proceeding.

Survey and District Maps

Survey maps indicate all previously and newly surveyed properties as well as properties already listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Complex and district maps identify boundaries and all resources in the potential complexes and districts. These maps are included in the Survey Results Chapter in this intensive survey report.

1 Introduction

The City of Wauwatosa received a Historic Preservation grant-in-aid administered by the Wisconsin Historical Society from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior to hire Legacy Architecture, Inc., an architectural and historic preservation consulting firm based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, to conduct the second phase of an intensive survey of architecturally and historically significant residential resources within the boundaries of the City. The major objective of the project was to identify individual resources, complexes, and districts of architectural or historical significance that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

The survey was executed during the period from November 2019 to June 2020 by Principal Investigators Rowan Davidson and student Bridget Greuel with editorial assistance by Jennifer L. Lehrke and clerical assistance by Gail Biederwolf, of Legacy Architecture, Inc. It consisted of several major work elements: completing a reconnaissance survey, conducting research, evaluating resources, and preparing an intensive survey report. The boundaries of the second phase of the survey were delineated as shown on the Survey Area Map at the end of Chapter 2 and comprise approximately 2,450 acres of the city’s total 8,470 acres, approximately bounded by Mount Vernon Avenue and Hawthorne Avenue to the south, North Mayfair Road to the West, Milwaukee Avenue to the north, and North 59th Street to the east. The survey identified approximately 1,065 resources of architectural and historical interest, including eight individually eligible resources, as well as five potential districts comprised of 401 resources.

The purpose of this survey report was not to write a definitive history of the City of Wauwatosa, but rather to provide an overview of the history of the city in relation to a series of themes or study units and to provide basic information on the resources that were identified during the residential reconnaissance survey, which can be used in future planning decisions and increasing public awareness of the history and architecture of the community.

This architectural and historical intensive report and the associated work elements mentioned above are kept at the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison, and a copy of the report is kept at the Wauwatosa City Hall and Wauwatosa Public Library.

2 Survey Methodology

Introduction

The second phase of the Architectural and Historical Intensive Survey of residential properties was conducted in the City of Wauwatosa over several months, beginning in November of 2019 and concluding in June of 2020. The architectural firm of Legacy Architecture, Inc. of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, executed the survey. The principal investigator Rowan Davidson along with student Bridget Greuel, conducted the reconnaissance survey fieldwork, performed historical research, authored the report, and prepared survey maps. Jennifer L. Lehrke edited the intensive survey report and generally oversaw the survey. Gail Biederwolf provided clerical support. The City of Wauwatosa Architectural and Historical Survey of residential properties consisted of four major work tasks: (1) reconnaissance survey, (2) architectural and historical research, (3) evaluation of significant resources for inclusion in the intensive survey report, and (4) preparation and presentation of the intensive survey report.

Reconnaissance Survey

In January 2020, a windshield survey of the City of Wauwatosa was conducted that resulted in the identification of approximately 1,065 resources of architectural and historical interest. During this time, an entry was made in a spreadsheet for each resource, including the location, name, architectural style, and other key pieces of information, and a digital photograph was taken. The residential portions of the City of Wauwatosa within the delineated boundary area as shown on the survey map at the end of Chapter 2 were surveyed street-by-street and structure- by-structure for resources of architectural and historical significance.

Records for approximately 358 previously surveyed resources were updated. Information contained in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s online Architecture and Historic Inventory (AHI), particularly the address, was confirmed and corrected if needed, and field observations were recorded if any alterations, additions, or demolition work had been done to the structure since last surveyed. A new digital photograph of each property was taken to be added to the AHI. As is customary, the three residential resources already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, individually or contributing within districts, were excluded from the survey. In addition to updating the previously surveyed resources, 351 of which were still survey worthy, 707 new resources of interest were observed and documented. Information such as an address, name, and architectural style was noted, and field observations were recorded which were later entered in the AHI. A digital photograph of each property was also taken for inclusion in the AHI. In areas where a potential historic district was identified, all buildings within its boundaries were observed and documented. In addition, all the existing and newly surveyed

7 properties were identified by AHI number on maps which are included in Chapter 8 Survey Results.

Architectural and Historical Research

Architectural and historical research of the City of Wauwatosa was conducted by the principal investigator throughout the project to provide a historical context to evaluate resources. Of foremost importance were items located at the Wauwatosa Historical Society, including, but not limited to, their extensive collection of research on local history. Secondary information was also found at the Wisconsin Historical Society, the City of Wauwatosa Assessor’s office, and the Wauwatosa Public Library.

Summaries of the city’s history are included in this report and arranged in themes according to guidelines set forth by the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Resources deemed eligible for listing in the National Register were evaluated based on their association with these themes.

Evaluation of Significant Resources

After the reconnaissance survey and research were completed, the data was analyzed to determine which individual properties, complexes, and districts were potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The evaluation of individual historic resources, complexes, and districts were also reviewed with the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society prior to inclusion in this report. The evaluation was performed according to the National Register’s Criteria for Evaluation and Criteria Considerations which are used to assist local, state, and federal agencies in evaluating nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The Criteria for Evaluation and Criteria Considerations are described in several National Register publications as follows:

The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:

A. that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Ordinarily, cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions, or used for religious purposes, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:

A. a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or

8

B. a building or structure removed from its original location, but which is significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic period or event; or C. a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with his or her productive life; or D. a cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or E. a reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or F. a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or G. a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

As noted above, a historic district is placed in the National Register of Historic Places in a manner similar to individual properties, using essentially the same criteria. A historic district is comprised of resources; that is, buildings, structures, sites, or objects located in a geographically definable area. The historic district is united by historical factors and a sense of cohesive architectural integrity. District resources are individually classified as contributing or non-contributing.

A. A contributing building, site, structure, or object adds to the historic architectural qualities, historic associations, or archeological values for which a property is significant because: a.) it was presented during the period of significance and possesses historic integrity reflecting its character at that time or is capable of yielding important information about the period, or b.) it independently or individually meets the National Register criteria. B. A non-contributing building, site, structure, or object does not add to the historic architectural qualities, historic associations, or archeological values for which a property or district is significant because: a.) it was not present during the period of significance [less than 50 years old or moved to the site], b.) due to alterations, disturbances, addition, or other changes, it no longer possesses historic integrity reflecting its character at that time or is incapable of yielding important information about the period, or c.) it does not independently meet the National Register criteria.

Preparation and Presentation of the Intensive Survey Report

This survey report describes the project and survey methodology, gives an overview of the history of the City of Wauwatosa, summarizes the thematic research and survey results, and gives recommendations for the Wauwatosa Historic Preservation Commission. This report does not include a definitive history of the city; rather, it provides a broad historical overview of many themes in one publication. It is intended to be a work in progress that can lead to future research and can be updated over time as new information is collected.

Copies of the final survey report were issued to the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wauwatosa Historic Preservation Commission.

Legacy Architecture, the Wauwatosa Historic Preservation Commission, and the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society conducted two public information meetings regarding the survey. The first meeting was held on November 6, 2019, to introduce

9 the survey team and the project process to the community. A second meeting held on July 15, 2020, presented the results of the project including the survey report, potentially eligible individual properties and districts, and information on the National Register of Historic Places to the City of Wauwatosa and the Historic Preservation Commission.

3 Historical Overview

The land that would become Wauwatosa was occupied by the Menomonee tribe north and east of the Milwaukee River and the Potawatomi tribe south and west of the river in the early 19th century. The United States Government purchased the land from the Potawatomi tribe in 1833, and proceeded to relocate Native Americans, surveyed the land into parcels for sale, and organized and opened the area for settlement. In 1835, the area was organized as a part of the Town of Milwaukee in the newly formed Milwaukee County.1

Wauwatosa’s first permanent white settler, Charles Hart arrived in Milwaukee County in 1835 and purchased a large tract of land five miles to the west on which to develop a settlement. He built a log home, sawmill, and grist mill on the west side of the Menomonee River that same year. Seventeen other settlers joined him, and the settlement became known as Hart’s Mills, the second settlement in Milwaukee County after that which would become the present-day City of Milwaukee. A United States military road from Milwaukee to Madison was constructed through the settlement near the mills in 1836. The following year, the federal government constructed the first bridge across the Menomonee River at Hart’s Mills to serve the military road. A portion of the military road route remains today as Milwaukee Avenue, Harwood Avenue, and Watertown Plank Road. In 1837, Charles Hart’s brother, Thomas, joined him in operating the mills. The Harts subdivided 160 acres into residential lots centered along the road leading north of the settlement away from the mills, which became known as Wauwatosa Road, south of present-day North Avenue. Twenty-eight of the lots were purchased within a year, many by Yankee settlers from the state of New York. The intersection of these two main roads on the northeast bank of the Menomonee River became the center of the small community.2

A cemetery was established north of the settlement in 1839, which was eventually moved to a larger, permanent location along present-day Wauwatosa Avenue north of North Avenue. The settlement, which served primarily as the commercial center for the surrounding farming community and a transportation hub clustered around the mills, added a blacksmith shop by 1840. The first public school in the community was established near its center in 1841.3

In 1842, the western half of the Town of Milwaukee including the settlement of Hart’s Mills was established as the Town of Wauwatosa. The Town of Wauwatosa’s original borders encompassed the area demarcated by present-day Greenfield Avenue to the south, Hampton Avenue to the north, 27th Street to the east, and the Waukesha County line at 124th Street to the west. The new town was named after the local Potawatomi Chief Wauwataesie, whose name was the Potawatomi word for Firefly. The area, along the Menomonee River Valley, is home to many fireflies during the summer months. The first town meeting was held on April 5, 1842, and Charles Hart was elected chairman. Portions of the town would eventually be annexed into the neighboring cities of Milwaukee, West Allis, and the former City of North Milwaukee.4

11

Beginning in 1848, the portion of the military road between Milwaukee and Watertown was converted into a toll plank road and came to be known as the Milwaukee-Watertown Plank Road west of the village center. The construction of the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad reached Wauwatosa from Milwaukee in 1850, and the settlement’s commercial area expanded.5

Wauwatosa’s early Baptist congregation was active in harboring runaway slaves, making the settlement a prominent location along the Underground Railroad during the 1840s and 1850s.6

In 1852, Wauwatosa’s Congregational parishioners constructed the first dedicated church building in the community at the present-day corner of Church Street and Menomonee River Parkway. That same year, a 160- acre tract of land was purchased across the river by Milwaukee County to serve as the county's poor farm. The Milwaukee County Grounds, located on the south side of the river, east of Underwood Creek, steadily grew and would include the County Poor House and Almshouse, the Detail of Wauwatosa and the Western Suburbs of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County School of birds-eye-view, Warner Bros. & Wambold, 1892. Agriculture and Domestic Economy, the Muirdale Sanitarium, the County Insane Asylum, the Home for Dependent Children, the County Water Works, and other county social welfare services and hospitals to the present day. It is the present site of the large medical complex of the Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert Memorial Hospital.7

Known for its New England character introduced by the early Yankee settlers, the settlement of Wauwatosa featured a public common, cottage industries, and Protestant churches during the 1860s. However, after 1870, a significant number of new arrivals were German and Dutch immigrants.8 The town established a high school in 1871 and its first library in 1882.9

Two large commercial agricultural developments occurred in Wauwatosa during the 1870s. In 1870, brothers Charles and James Stickney established a large pickle farm and canning company in the town on land bounded by present-day Milwaukee Avenue, North 74th Street, Hillcrest Drive, and North 68th Street. In 1873, Captain Frederick Pabst purchased a hop and Percheron horse farm for his large brewery enterprise in Milwaukee and as a rural retreat. The 178-acre farm was located along Milwaukee Avenue between the Stickney pickle farm and present-day North 60th Street.

Harrison Ludington, a wealthy Milwaukee businessman and three-term mayor of Milwaukee, established a rural retreat and farm during the 1870s along what is now Glenview Avenue south of the river.10

12

The area along Harwood Avenue opposite the village center was built up with numerous homes and businesses continuing south along what is now Glenview Avenue by 1876. Development north of the town’s core settlement increased in the 1870s with many houses constructed along the bluffs above the river overlooking quarries in the valley. As most of the Town of Wauwatosa remained farmland through the end of the nineteenth century, much of the local industry and commerce of that time was focused on supporting agriculture, with little manufacturing. The lack of factories, rural life, and an artesian well appealed to the elites of booming nearby Milwaukee who began constructing large estates in the town.11

During the 1880s, landowners north of the settlement continued subdividing their farmland for residential development in expectation of financial gain as the community grew. New residents, often members of Milwaukee’s socio-economic elite, continued moving into the area because of its good water and convenient location. A notable example of this trend, the Warren family, subdivided their farm north of the settlement as residential lots and platted Warren’s Subdivision in 1884 with additions to the subdivision platted in 1893 and 1918. The area developed slowly, but consistently with large homes.12

In 1891, Pabst constructed a new east-west road, present-day Lloyd Street, through his farm to connect Wauwatosa’s growing suburban residential development to Milwaukee with a streetcar line. The Milwaukee and Wauwatosa Rapid Transit Company was established in 1891 by a collaboration between Gustave Pabst and Charles Stickney to bring electrified rail service to the northern portion of Wauwatosa. The rail line and electricity were introduced the following year. The streetcar line to the north followed a path down Lloyd Street to North 73rd Street where it turned south to Milwaukee Avenue and the central commercial district. The southern line followed Wells Street to 68th Street and then north to the village center. The streetcars spurred development and service continued, on the southern branch, until 1958, which was the last operational streetcar or interurban line in Wisconsin.13

The developed area at the center of the Town of Wauwatosa officially incorporated as the Village of Wauwatosa in 1892 with a population of 2,248, although it was often already referred to as a village as it featured schools, churches, a post office, library, hotel, and numerous other businesses.14

In July of 1895, a large fire began near the center of the village and destroyed much of the central business district. To help rebuild, the local banker and first village president, Emerson Hoyt, secured a charter incorporating Wauwatosa as the first fourth-class city in the State of Wisconsin in 1897. Hoyt was later elected as the city’s first mayor, and a new combination fire department and city hall was constructed.15

By the turn of the century, the City of Wauwatosa’s central commercial core contained mills, the pickle factory, a quarry, wagon manufacturers, blacksmiths, saloons, general stores, a plant nursery, hotel, churches, schools, library, and commons, and the Milwaukee County Poor Farm then on the city’s outskirts developed into a large number of county social service, educational, and health institutions including the Milwaukee County Hospital, Asylum for the Mentally Diseased, County Home for Children, School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy, Infirmary, and the Muirdale and Blue Mound Sanatoria.16

13

However, Wauwatosa’s identity soon largely became that of a residential commuter suburb of Milwaukee with its many new single-family residences proportionately outnumbering commerce and industry. The streetcar proved to be an important step in the growth and character of Wauwatosa with rail lines down Wells Street, State Street, Lloyd Street, and Harwood Avenue, and south to West Allis and the county institutions, which encouraged residential growth and development of small businesses to serve the residential population. Wauwatosa is often considered Milwaukee’s first suburb. To serve the growing residential development, city water, sewer, gas, electric, and telephone services were introduced in 1899.17

The City of Wauwatosa’s population reached 3,346 by 1910, and a police department was established in 1915. Social organizations flourished during this time, with the establishment and expansions of the Masons, Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Foresters, and Good Templars.18

The ethnic makeup of the city changed along with its population growth. The large German population of Milwaukee expanded into Wauwatosa during the 1910s and 1920s along with significant numbers of ethnically Irish, Polish, and Italian residents.19

During the 1910s, the city began experiencing very rapid residential growth, and much of the local economy and commerce related to real estate development and home construction. When the Stickney Pickle Farm closed in 1912, the land was developed through a series of subdivisions including Watson Avenue, Windsor Heights, and the Windsor Heights addition. To this point in time, residential development was unplanned in Wauwatosa; the land was typically subdivided into lots and purchased individually on a sometimes-haphazard grid street plan.

The prominent development of a portion of the Pabst Farm as the Washington Highlands subdivision in 1916 marked a change in development style in Wauwatosa and even influencing suburban development throughout the state. Planned and designed by Werner Hegemann and Elbert Peets with concepts of the Garden City Movement, the Washington Highlands was laid out as a self-contained unit made up of curvilinear streets, large lots, boulevards, natural features, planned setbacks, planned concentrations of density at the edges, and deed restrictions intended to control aesthetic decisions in the design of the houses built there.20

Several annexations along the southern edge of the city, including the Wellauer Tract in 1915, along with Greystone Park and Government Heights, added considerable land to the city for future residential development. The example of Wellauer Park, completed in 1919 and designed by the landscape architect F.A. Cushing Smith, was developed on this annexed land. The Wellauer project included curved parallel boulevards, planned landscaping, and a series of subdivisions added over fifteen years. The Wellauer property was divided into a northern 80 acres north of Wisconsin Avenue and west of 72nd Street, and the 40 acres west of 68th Street and south of Wisconsin Avenue, which was developed first while the northern portion initially served as a small golf course. Each addition included a set of restrictive covenants that restricted ownership, setbacks, development, and architectural control.

14

In 1918, Mayor Hans Koenig formed a committee of municipal progress to arrange construction of sewers and water mains along unoccupied streets to encourage development. The Wauwatosa Avenue Association was established in 1920 to beautify the street and the city more generally. This started a trend of neighborhood associations in Wauwatosa that continues to the present. The city introduced a zoning ordinance in 1921, the second city to do so in the state, consciously separating residential neighborhoods from manufacturing and commercial areas. Before the introduction of the ordinance, the land was subdivided with little concern for the arrangement of streets and buildings. The zoning ordinance further encouraged the city to remain a predominantly residential community. Wauwatosa adopted the moniker Town of Wauwatosa Zoning Map, 1939. Milwaukee County Regional “City of Homes” during the Planning Department. Image courtesy of the Wauwatosa Historical 1920s as the city increasingly Society. became a desirable suburban residential community.21

The City of Wauwatosa extensively annexed land from the Town of Wauwatosa to further aid in residential development, including 137 acres added in 1926 alone. A total of 37 separate tracts of land at the periphery of the city were annexed during the 1920s. This paralleled the annexation of the land around the city on the north, east, and west by the City of Milwaukee from 1924 to 1931. Over 650 homes were constructed in Wauwatosa between 1920 and 1928. Speculative subdivisions became the dominant mode of development in the city; at its peak, one speculative house was completed every day in 1924. The population of the city doubled from approximately 5,000 in 1920 to 10,000 in 1925 as it became, at least partially, a bedroom suburb of the neighboring City of Milwaukee.22

In 1926, the Ludington farm was platted and developed as the 62-acre Ravenswood Subdivision. Many other similar subdivisions and additions were created during the 1920s and 1930s along the southern edge of the city. These subdivisions often stipulated that houses must be constructed with brick or stone facades and cost a minimum amount to construct. These

15 strategies were successful in attracting upper-middle-class residents such as doctors, lawyers, managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs. Subdivisions of this era were often named to suggest the English countryside, and many of the homes were constructed in the Tudor Revival and other eclectic Period Revival styles. Lots were advertised as being located near green spaces and parkways, good schools, and only a thirty-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee.23

During the 1920s, additional commercial areas developed outside of the downtown core to serve the growing residential population, most notably along North Avenue which was paved and had streetlights installed in 1918. Wide, paved roads were commonplace in the suburban city by the 1920s, and new houses were consistently constructed with garages indicating the popularity and near-universal use of automobiles. In 1931, a major street re-naming and re-numbering occurred in the City and Town of Wauwatosa which aligned the names with neighboring Milwaukee.24

The depression slowed growth throughout Wauwatosa; however, the effect was felt primarily in the first years following 1929 as building picked up again during much of the 1930s. By 1930, Wauwatosa had a population of 21,194 and a reputation for good land, schools, parks, and utilities near Milwaukee, the main factor in its population growth. As the city’s residential population grew, new schools, parks, and religious institutions were established to serve the growing community. City directory listings for businesses grew from 26 in 1926 to 92 businesses listed in 1932.25

A series of parkways first planned in 1923, including several curvilinear drives along rivers in Wauwatosa, was developed by Milwaukee County starting in 1935 with Civilian Conservation Corp laborers conducting most of the work including street grading, masonry work, construction of concrete bridges, and the construction of small comfort station buildings.26

The outlying Town of Wauwatosa remained farmland until after World War II when Wauwatosa experienced an economic boom and rapid residential growth to supply returning veteran housing. New housing types and styles, such as duplex, ranch, and small traditional houses dominated new developments and were also commonly constructed to fill out earlier subdivisions. The city continued to grow rapidly during the mid-twentieth century, reaching 33,324 people by 1950, and annexing further portions of the Town of Wauwatosa. The largest annexation occurred in 1952 when the remaining eight and one-half square miles of the Town of Wauwatosa was annexed into the City of Wauwatosa, nearly as large as the existing city itself at the time.27

The annexation of developable land encouraged economic growth, attracting the expansion of Milwaukee-area manufacturers, including Briggs and Stratton, Harley Davidson, and the General Merchandise Company, to Wauwatosa. The center of this industrial and warehouse expansion was the northwest corner of Wauwatosa adjacent to the Village of Butler due to the presence of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway and the development of Highway 41 between 1955 and 1963. Construction of Interstate Highway 94, connecting Milwaukee with Madison, along the southern edge of Wauwatosa began in 1956 and was completed by 1960. The interstate served to create a barrier at the southern edge of the city.28

A new civic center housing the city hall, public library, and war memorial were constructed in 1957. Streetcar service to Wauwatosa ended in 1958, outmoded by the prevalence of the

16 automobile. Construction of Mayfair Mall, which would become the largest and most successful shopping mall in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, began on the west side of the city in 1959. By the 1960s, Wauwatosa became a popular location for the development of office and other commercial buildings, particularly near Mayfair Mall and the county grounds. An emphasis on automobile-centered suburban style development on the outskirts of the city resulted in increased commercial vacancies in downtown Wauwatosa. Planning recommendations of the era increased surface parking lots and the re-routing of major cross-town traffic around the small downtown.29

Residential development continued steadily, towards the west and northwest sides eventually reaching full build-out. An open housing ordinance passed in the city in 1968, making it unlawful to discriminate in the sale or renting of housing in Wauwatosa for any reason. By 1970, Wauwatosa’s population peaked at 58,676 residents. The southern portion of Wauwatosa is divided into a few smaller neighborhoods including Quarry Heights, Wauwatosa Village, Jacobus Park, Wellauer Park, Wellauer Heights, Jennings Park, Glenview Heights, Ravenswood, the Milwaukee County Grounds, the Medical Center, and Bluemound Manor.30

By 2011, the city’s population declined to 45,396, due to an aging population, smaller average household sizes, and the Milwaukee metropolitan area’s continued suburban growth further outward, especially west of Wauwatosa into Waukesha County. To this day, Wauwatosa maintains a predominantly residential character yet is notable for its substantial amounts of park and recreational areas, major regional medical center, and one of the metropolitan area’s premier shopping destinations. The city’s history represents many pioneering facets of suburban development in Wisconsin.31

4 Architecture

Introduction

Architecture in Wisconsin has mirrored the trends and fashions that were evident in the rest of the United States. Wauwatosa’s historic residential architecture stock is no different. Beginning with the Gothic Revival style, most major residential architectural styles and forms of the nineteenth and twentieth century are seen in the city. This chapter includes a brief description of the major residential architectural styles and vernacular building forms evident in the city followed by representative examples of that style which were included in the survey. A brief history of many of the architects, engineers, and contractors who worked in the area is also included along with listings of buildings that were included in the survey that are associated with those persons or firms.32

Architectural Styles

Romantic / Picturesque Styles (1820-1880)

Throughout most of the nineteenth century, several eclectic architectural fashions took shape, unlike the previous Colonial era when a style based solely on classical Greek and Roman precedents dominated American architecture. The impetus of this movement was the 1842 publication of the first American pattern book of house styles to have full-façade drawings, Cottage Residences by Andrew Jackson Downing. For the first time, builders and their clients had distinct options. As the architectural profession was yet to be formalized in the United States, architects at this time were almost all self-trained. Many eventually wrote and published pattern books. These publications were the primary source for carpenters to increase knowledge to become a designer or architect.33

It was during this era that Wauwatosa was first settled, in 1836, and developed as a rural community. The central settlement that incorporated as the Village of Wauwatosa in 1892 with a population of 2,248 was located outside of the boundaries of the first phase of this survey. The residences constructed during this era within the boundaries of the first phase of this survey were largely rural homesteads and farmhouses scattered throughout what was countryside, most presumably of vernacular forms discussed later in this chapter. As Wauwatosa developed from a rural community into a suburb of Milwaukee, most of the residences from this era were demolished for platting and development of new suburban-style subdivisions. Therefore, few high style residences from this era remain within the boundaries of the second phase of the survey.

Gothic Revival

A Picturesque movement inspired by the romantic past began in England during the mid- eighteenth century in reaction to the formal classical architecture that had been fashionable for the previous two centuries. This movement included a revival of medieval Gothic architecture, which was popularized in the United States during the 1830s, especially for picturesque country houses. The Gothic Revival style was popular in Wisconsin from 1850 to 1880 and is characterized by its picturesque form and massing, steeply pitched and most often cross-gabled roof, decorated curvilinear verge boards, and Gothic pointed-arch openings. Windows and wall surface finishes typically extend into the gable ends without termination by an eave or trim. Similarly, wall dormers and ornate, shaped chimneys with polygonal decorative chimney pots commonly project above the roofline. One-story porches are common, often supported by flattened Gothic arches. Fenestration is often large and pointed with tracery and colored glass and topped with a window hood; cantilevered oriel and one-story bay windows are common. The style was constructed in both wood and masonry. However, wood-frame “Carpenter Gothic” examples predominated, often clad with horizontal clapboards or vertical board-and- batten siding that contributed to the style’s accentuated verticality. In its masonry form, the style was also a common religious style, often with a basilican plan with a steeple at the entrance, and characterized by buttresses, battlements, pinnacles, and towers.34

Greek Revival

The Greek Revival style was an architectural expression of the increased interest in classical Greek culture at the turn of the nineteenth century due to contemporaneous archeological investigations emphasizing Greece as the “Mother of Rome,” American sympathy to the Greek War of Independence during the 1820s, and diminished British influence after the War of 1812. The style largely originated for public buildings and grew to be the dominant architectural style in the country by the mid-nineteenth century, spread by booming westward settlement and the

20 proliferation of carpenter’s guides and pattern books promoting it. As architecture was not yet an organized profession in the state at this time, these published resources were vital to the local carpenters and builders who made Greek Revival the first national style to have a wide impact on buildings in Wisconsin, where it was popular from 1840 to 1870. The style was generally not an exact copy of historic precedents, but rather a reinterpretation that resulted in an American architectural style that was easily adapted to local building variations. Wisconsin developed a brick, fieldstone, and quarried rock masonry tradition in the style in contrast to wood-framed, clapboard-clad versions more common in other regions. Greek Revival buildings typically have a low-pitched hipped or gabled roof form and cornice line emphasized by a wide band of trim representing a classical entablature. The style is characterized by the adaptation of the classic Greek temple front as a full-width or entry porch with a triangular-shaped, low-sloped pediment roof supported by a symmetrical arrangement of columns, which may be of the classical Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian order. In simpler designs, the columns are translated into fluted pilaster corner boards, and the gabled roofline has returned eaves. Fenestration is arranged in a regular and symmetrical pattern. In some instances, first-floor windows are tall and topped by a pediment-shaped window head while the second-floor windows or small attic windows are tied into or completely located within the large frieze board. The front entry door may be topped with a transom and flanked by sidelights.35

Italianate

The Picturesque movement also included new interpretations of the less formal architecture of Italian villas, farmhouses, and townhouses. The Italianate style was popular in Wisconsin from 1850 to 1880, the predominant American residential style of its time and especially popular in expanding Midwest towns and cities. Houses are square or rectangular in plan, cubic in mass, and most often two or three stories in height. A common residential variant is L-shaped in plan wrapped around a square three-story tower. The style’s most characteristic residential element is a low sloped hipped roof with wide soffits that is seemingly supported by a series of decorative,

21 oversized single or paired wooden brackets commonly placed on a deep frieze board that itself may be elaborated with panels or molding. The hipped roof is commonly topped with a cupola. The fenestration arrangement is regular and balanced with tall, thin, and often arched or curved windows that are topped with decorative window heads or hood moldings. Masonry examples may feature a pronounced string course and rusticated quoins. Italianate houses are often adorned with a decorative porch that is supported by thin wooden columns and decorative brackets. Italianate commercial buildings most typically reference the style’s bracketed cornice, often rising above a flat or shed roof and decorative window hoods.36

Victorian Styles (1860-1900)

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, dramatic changes in American architecture and construction began in tandem with rapid industrialization and growth of the railroads. The most notable change was the advent of balloon framing, the first method of constructing buildings from light, two-inch boards held together by wire nails, which replaced heavy-timber framing as the most common construction method. Due to this advancement, buildings could be more easily and affordably constructed with complex ground plans and massing. Also, for the first time in history, building components such as doors, windows, roofing, siding, and decorative detailing were able to be mass-produced and shipped across the country. Styles of the Victorian era clearly reflect these changes in their extensive use of complex shapes and elaborate detailing, features previously limited to only the most expensive houses. Simultaneously, large strides were made in the areas of design education and discourse. The first formal architectural education programs were established in the United States during this time and were located throughout the country by the end of the century. Also, the scale and distribution of architectural design publications and journals increased, which began including larger illustrations, smaller- scaled architectural details, and features on American Colonial and European architectural history. While most Victorian styles were based on medieval precedents, intentions were less on

22 precise historical copying and included an eclectic mix of details. This experimentation would lead to the first truly modern styles at the turn of the twentieth century.37

Queen Anne

The Queen Anne style was popularized during the late nineteenth century by a group of English architects led by Richard Norman Shaw. The name of the style is a misnomer, as it was based on the late medieval architecture of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras rather than the formal Renaissance architecture of Queen Anne’s reign. The initial British versions of the style relied heavily on half-timbering and patterned masonry, while a distinctly American interpretation grew around delicate spindle work and classical style ornamentation. The Queen Anne style was popular in Wisconsin from 1880 to 1910 and is characterized by its asymmetrical plan and massing and lavish surface decoration. Architectural elements that lend to the varied massing include polygonal towers and turrets, tall chimneys, large wrap-around porches, bays, and other projecting elements. Steeply sloped roofs with multiple gables and hips are typical. Wall surfaces tend to be adorned with wood clapboards, scalloped fish-scale shingles, stone, brick, as well as other ornamental details. The fenestration is often irregular and may include a border of colored glazing in the upper sash of a double-hung window.38 Ornamentation and decorative detailing can be ascribed to four basic subtypes. “Spindle work” examples of the style predominate and feature delicate turned wooden porch posts and gingerbread or Eastlake ornamentation, most commonly at the porch balustrade, as a frieze or valance suspended from the porch ceiling, in the gable ends, and under wall overhangs at cut-away bay windows. Lacy spandrels, knob-like beads, and incised detailing are common decorative elements. “Free Classic” examples of the style are common and feature classical columns as porch supports, either full height or raised on a pedestal and commonly grouped in units of two or three, as well as Palladian windows, cornice-line dentils, swags and garlands, and other classical details. “Half-Timbered” examples are rare and, like the British origins of the style, feature half- timbering in gables and on upper story walls, heavy turned porch posts and spandrels, and groupings of three or more windows. Also rare are “Patterned Masonry” examples with masonry walls accented by patterned brick, stone, or terra cotta detailing and little wood ornamentation. Gable ends and dormers are sometimes parapeted and shaped.39

Eclectic / Period Revival Styles (1880-1940)

Unlike the free stylistic mixtures of the preceding Victorian era, the turn of the twentieth century saw a new movement of eclecticism come to dominance that stressed relatively pure copying of traditional architecture across the full spectrum of Western architectural history – particularly Classical Greek and Roman as well as their Italian and French Renaissance interpretations, English and French medieval, and architecture from the early British and Spanish colonies. While beginning quietly in the last decades of the nineteenth century with European-trained architects, the trend gained momentum with the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893 which stressed historically accurate architecture. This period of historicism was only briefly interrupted by the first wave of American modern architecture in the American Craftsman and Prairie styles. During this time, from about 1900 to 1920, Eclectic styles were still popular but often incorporated aspects of those early modern styles, prominently broad roof overhangs, exposed roof rafters, front porches, and grouped windows. However, popular taste shifted back to the traditional revival styles after World War I, undoubtedly due to the millions of American soldiers returning from the war in Europe where they became familiar with the authentic precedents of these historic styles. While some architects of the time designed creative interpretations of the

25 style; photographs of historic architecture were widely available to designers and their clients through many architectural journals and illustrated books that allowed for a high degree of historical accuracy. Additionally, by the early 1920s, the technology of cladding buildings with a thin brick or stone veneer was perfected which revolutionized the design of small homes with the new affordability of masonry exteriors. It had been previously difficult to closely copy European styles, which were most often built of solid masonry and decorated with stone or brickwork patterns. Although the Great Depression led to a simplification of houses with less architectural detail, the Period Revival styles remained the most dominant architectural styles until the end of World War II.40

Neoclassical Revival

The Neoclassical Revival style was a revival of classical Greek and Roman architecture. It was popular in Wisconsin from 1895 to 1935, largely because of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 which featured buildings of this style. The style especially became known as the architecture of monumental public, commercial, and institutional buildings. Examples of the Neo-classical style feature symmetrical façades with a central entry that is clearly defined by a full-height porch with a pediment supported by classical columns and pilasters and often constructed of smooth or polished stone masonry articulated with a rusticated base, middle, and top. Detailing is simple, limited often to dentils or modillions beneath boxed eaves, a wide frieze band, a roofline balustrade, and an elaborate entry door surround. Window openings are typically large; bay windows, paired windows, triple windows, and transom windows may be present. Arches and enriched moldings are rare. Columns in early examples are often fluted with Ionic or Corinthian capitals; examples built after 1925 often have more slender, unfluted, and often square columns without capitals. Later examples also more commonly feature Chinese Chippendale railing motifs.41

Colonial Revival

After the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876, the last two decades of the nineteenth century saw a resurgence of interest in the American colonial architecture of the Atlantic seaboard, generally the Georgian and Federal architectural styles as well as the secondary influence of post-medieval English and Dutch Colonial traditions. The restoration and recreation of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, during the early twentieth century, renewed interest in the style. While the earliest examples of the Colonial Revival style tended to be free interpretations with details inspired by colonial precedents, the turn of the twentieth century saw tastes shift towards carefully researched copies with more correct proportions and details. The Colonial Revival style was popular from 1880 through the 1960s, largely but not exclusively as a residential style. Houses are generally rectangular in plan, typically two stories in height, and covered by a moderately pitched gabled roof. Examples characteristically feature a symmetrical façade with windows balanced on both sides of a central front door commonly with fanlight and sidelights and accentuated with either a decorative crown, pediment, or entry porch supported by simple pilasters or slender columns. Windows are generally double-hung sashes with multi-pane glazing in just the top or both sashes; windows are often in adjacent pairs. Other common elements include roof dormers, denticulated cornices, and shutters. Exterior cladding may include clapboards, brick, stone, or a combination of masonry on the first floor with clapboard siding above.42

The inherent simplicity and regularity of the style lent itself well to standardization, which allowed for the style’s continued popularity through the changing building practices brought on by the Great Depression and World War II as well through the postwar changes in taste and architectural fashion. Later examples are occasionally asymmetrical L-shaped forms, to accommodate a breezeway and semi-attached garage, or most often shallower pitched side- gabled forms with simplified door surrounds, cornices, and other details, if present, that merely suggest their colonial precedents rather than closely mirroring them. There has hardly been a gap in time when Colonial inspired buildings were not being built somewhere in the country since the inception of the style in the 1880s. A dramatic drop in popularity during the late 1950s and 1960s marked the beginning of a transition from these simplified interpretations of the style to a renewed interest in architectural accuracy and Colonial-inspired buildings of the subsequent “New Traditional” era that continues to this day.43

Georgian Revival

Because of their reference to the more formal Georgian and Federal architecture, some forms of the Colonial Revival style are more specifically referred to as the Georgian Revival style. Popular in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1940, these tend to be larger in scale and more richly finished than typical Colonial Revival buildings. Characteristics of the Georgian Revival style are formal symmetrical facades, rectangular plans, hipped roofs, and classical embellishments including denticulated cornices, elliptical fanlights, sidelights flanking doorways, Palladian windows, broken pediments, and classical columns. Largely a residential style, the Georgian Revival style was also popular for churches during the early twentieth century, especially with Protestant congregations. Churches of this style exhibit the characteristic symmetry and classical detailing, as well as a prominent steeple.44

Regency

Some forms of the Colonial Revival style are more properly referred to as the Regency style, as they are more closely based on the style of English precedents rather than American. The Regency style, generally a more simplified version of Colonial Revival, was most popular during the 1930s and relies more heavily on classical proportions and lines rather than decorative embellishments. Simplified colonial door surrounds, quoins, plain roof-wall junctures, and octagonal accent windows are typical. Some examples feature low-parapeted roof-wall junctures or a delicate ironwork entry porch covered by a minimal canopy roof. The exterior of Regency style houses is commonly brick, stucco, or painted plaster.45

Dutch Colonial Revival

The Dutch Colonial Revival style is a somewhat less formal version of the Colonial Revival or Georgian Revival styles and was popular in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1940. Despite its name, very few examples of the style closely follow early Dutch Colonial architecture as precedent. The style is characterized by a gambrel roof, occasionally ending with deep, flared eaves, which are much more influenced by the typical gambrel roofs of the Shingle style. Clapboards, shingles, brick, and stone are materials commonly used in combination with the exteriors. The symmetry of the style is often offset by a small wing on either of the gable ends. The style was especially popular for small-scale suburban residences in the early twentieth century.46

Tudor Revival

The turn of the twentieth century saw a rise in interest in Medieval and early Renaissance English residential architecture which became known as the Tudor Revival style, representing a broad range of precedent building traditions from small folk cottages to grand manors. Popular in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1940, the style is typified by a steeply pitched roof dominated by one or more prominent cross gables, a feature atypical of many English prototypes yet the most universally present dominant feature of American examples. Irregular plan and asymmetrical massing are typical. Other characteristic elements include tall, narrow, and multi-paned windows in multiple groups; oriel windows; one- or two-story semi-hexagonal bay windows; round or flattened “Tudor” arches; overhanging gables and second stories; decorative strapwork; wide, ornamental verge boards; and massive chimneys commonly crowned by decorative pots. Exterior wall materials are typically a combination of brick, stone, clapboard, wood shingles, and stucco, often with informal patterned stone or brickwork accents. The style exploded in popularity during the 1920s, when the development of masonry veneering methods allowed the style’s characteristic masonry exterior to become affordable on even the most modest of residences. A hallmark of the style is decorative half-timbering, generally on the second floor or

33 gable ends, infilled with stucco or brick. Porches under the main roof, often to the side, and arcaded wing walls are common. Rare examples attempt to mimic the picturesque thatch roofs of rural England by rolling roofing materials around the building’s eaves and rakes.47

The earliest examples of the style tended to be formal, architect-designed landmark houses that closely copied detailing from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. This variation is therefore often referred to by the contracted name Jacobethan. Examples are generally of stone masonry or brick with stone detailing. They characteristically feature raised parapet walls on the principal gables, often in shaped Flemish gables. Flat-roofed towers and bays with battlements or castellated parapets, and Gothic or Renaissance-inspired elaborate detailing are common; half- timbering is rare on these Jacobethan examples of the Tudor Revival style.48

French Revival

French Revival style architecture became popular for suburban houses during the early twentieth century after many American builders and architects returned to the United States after serving in France during World War I, where they became familiar with the broad range of medieval French architecture. Great variety in form and detailing can be found in examples of the French Revival style which was popular from 1915 to 1945; however, the style is typified by tall, steeply pitched hipped roofs which commonly feature an upward flare at the roof’s juncture with the walls. Homes of this style are often large and are often composed of a central hall and two identical, or at least compositionally balanced, wings. Common are circular towers, shuttered windows, second story windows that interrupt the cornice and rise above the eaves, and

36 segmentally arched doors, windows, and dormers. The French Revival style shares several common elements with the Tudor Revival style, most notably the use of a variety of different wall materials, including brick, stone, stucco, and half-timbering, and roof materials, such as tile, slate, stone, or thatch. As a result, many French Revival style houses resemble this other style; however, they are most often distinguishable by the style’s lack of dominant front-facing gables characteristic of the Tudor Revival style.49

Mediterranean Revival

While Italian Renaissance architecture served as a precedent for several earlier American architecture styles, the turn of the twentieth century saw a renewed interest in more accurate copies than the earlier free interpretations of the Italianate style. Popular throughout the country from 1890 to 1930, the Mediterranean Revival style was relatively rare in Wisconsin. Examples of this style are most often architect designed. They are characteristically clad with brick veneer or stucco with stone trim and feature low-pitched hipped roofs with widely overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets. Openings may be straight or arched, often round arched on the first floor with smaller and less elaborate windows on upper floors. Mediterranean Revival style houses are often planned around a courtyard and exhibit flat wall surfaces broken by arcading terra cotta, plaster, tile, or other ornamentation sometimes drawing on classical motifs. Stone balconies and porch railings, quoins, belt courses, pedimented windows, classical door surrounds, molded cornices, roof-line balustrades, and clay tile roofs are also common details.50

Spanish Colonial Revival

While the earliest Period Revival buildings based on Hispanic precedents reflected the simple Spanish missions of the southwestern United States, the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego introduced to this country the more elaborate Spanish influenced architecture found in Latin American countries. This exposition inspired architects to look directly to the architecture of Spain for precedent. Concurrently, architects wishing to study in Europe began concentrating on Spain while much of the continent was involved in World War I. There they found a diverse range of architecture, from highly decorative detailing to vernacular dwellings whose simplicity emphasized their massing rather than ornamentation. While most popular from 1915 to 1940 in southwestern states and Florida, the Spanish Colonial Revival style was rarely used in Wisconsin. The style is characterized by asymmetrical facades, stucco wall surfaces, and low- pitched gabled and hipped roofs with little or no eave overhang. Roofs are characteristically covered with half-cylinder Mission tiles or S-shaped Spanish tiles. Examples typically feature round arches above doors, beneath porch roofs, and at least one principal focal window, which is commonly triple-arched or parabolic in shape and is commonly filled with stained glass. Other common details include wrought-iron balconies and porch railings, cantilevered balconies, dramatically carved doors emphasized by adjacent spiral columns, pilasters, carved stonework, patterned tiles, and other decorative details of Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, or Renaissance influence. Some examples of the style can have a very rustic demeanor and include mission- style elements such as less elaborate heavy wood entrance doors, vigas, wood or iron grillwork, and shaped gables. Round or square towers, arcaded walkways usually leading to a rear garden, walled entry courtyards, and fountains are also common.51

Monterey

The Monterey style is a simplified, modern, and informal sub-category of the Spanish Revival based on the Anglo-influenced Spanish Colonial houses of northern California that blended Spanish adobe construction with pitched roof Colonial houses of New England. The style was popular from 1925 to 1955, primarily in California and Texas, and is rare in Wisconsin. A suburban residential style, Monterey houses are identified as two-stories with a rectangular or L- shaped plan and the style’s hallmark second-story balcony, usually cantilevered or supported by heavy brackets and covered by the principal roof that dominates either three quarters or the entire length of the main façade and commonly features ornamental wrought iron or simple wood columns and railings. Exterior walls are typically flat brick masonry, stucco, wood clapboard, shingle, or vertical board and batten siding; the first and second stories commonly have different cladding materials, most often wood clapboards over brick. Examples typically feature low sloped gabled and hipped roofs, absent or simple door and window surrounds, large first floor windows often double-hung and extending to the ground, paired windows, and false shutters.52

Swiss Chalet

The Swiss Chalet style is derived from the vernacular architecture of the Swiss Alps, was first popular during the mid-nineteenth century Exotic Revival era, and experienced an abbreviated period of limited renewed popularity in the early twentieth century. The style is characterized by its low-pitched front-gabled roofs with wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafter ends.

41

Examples of the style are typically one-and-one-half or two-and-one-half stories in height. Characteristic elements also include colorfully painted exteriors, window shutters, second story porches, or balconies with flat cut-out patterned wood balustrades, decorative bargeboards, patterned stickwork, or half-timbers on exterior walls, and other decorative woodwork. Popular during the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, this eclectic style is often used in pastoral resorts across North America, especially in places populated by people of Scandinavian descent.53

Early Modern Styles / Early 20th Century American Movements (1900-1950)

The first wave of American architecture that was not based on historic precedent occurred at the turn of the twentieth century and was led by Frank Lloyd Wright’s pioneering of the Prairie Style and the American Craftsman interpretation of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Early modern styles incorporated new concepts of free-flowing interior spaces, new spatial effects, and a new vocabulary of ornament that did not mimic historic forms. Eventually, more futuristic modern styles developed in the Art Deco and Art Moderne movements, still retaining some ornamentation.54

Prairie

One of the few indigenous American styles, the Prairie style is influenced by the architecture of the Chicago-based architects known as the Prairie School, of which Frank Lloyd Wright is the acknowledged master. The Prairie style was popular in Wisconsin from 1895 to 1925. It is primarily a residential style that emphasizes horizontality, evident in its characteristic low-sloped and generally hipped roofs with wide overhanging and typically boxed eaves, horizontal banding of casement windows, horizontal trim, and accent materials used for cornices, porch caps, and belt courses. These buildings are typically two-stories with one-story wings, porches, and porte- cocheres and may be clad in brick with stone trim or stucco with dark wood trim. The style’s

42 horizontality is often achieved through the exterior cladding materials with recessed horizontal mortar joints. Massive, square, or rectangular masonry piers and porch supports are a hallmark element, often in wood on more vernacular examples. Large, low chimneys or hearths are common that seemingly anchor the building to the ground.55

American Foursquare

The American Foursquare style, popularized by mail-order catalogs and speculative builders, was a popular domestic architectural style in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1930. Part of a larger movement toward a simplified and rectilinear architecture that was heavily influenced by the Prairie style, the style is primarily distinguished by its broad proportions, boxy massing, and lack of overt stylistic references. A typical house is two stories in height, with a hipped roof, widely overhanging eaves, and a central dormer. Brick, stone, stucco, concrete block, clapboards, and shingles are the most used exterior surface materials, often in combination by floor. The simple exterior reflects the straightforward interior plan of the Foursquare, typically featuring four large rooms on each floor and a corner entry hall and stairwell. A one-story porch across the front façade often features Tuscan columns and a filled-in or balustraded railing. Examples are occasionally embellished by Period Revival, Craftsman, or Prairie style details.56

Arts and Crafts

The English Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society was established in 1888 by a group of British artists and architects dedicated to a revival of the traditional craftsmanship, ethics, aesthetics, and cooperation of medieval guilds and the early nineteenth-century Gothic revival in England. They opposed what they perceived as the evil of industrial standardization. The movement encompassed the comprehensive design of furniture, decorative and fine arts, and architecture. The style is characteristically simple in form and rich in embellishment. The style was very rarely used in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1920. In contrast to the contemporaneous American Craftsman and Bungalow styles, Arts and Crafts houses are simple in form with little decoration, often with expansive stucco surfaces interrupted by irregularly placed multi-paned windows. Even large examples are humble. Wood shingle roofs are common, occasionally with rolled edges mimicking thatch. Wood is extensively used for interior finishes.57

American Craftsman

The American Craftsman style, descending from the English Arts and Crafts movement in the nineteenth century, was popular in Wisconsin from 1900 to 1920. Typically, American Craftsman style houses in Wisconsin are two-and-one-half stories in height and constructed of

47 brick, stucco, or stone with contrasting wood bands. The style is characterized by quality construction and simple exterior and interior detailing such as low-pitched, broad gable or hipped roofs with wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, large front dormers, decorative brackets, decorative (often false) beams, porches, prominent chimneys, and simple sashes. Porches are most often supported by the style’s distinctive tapered square columns and heavy piers that continue to the ground without breaking at the porch floor level. Glazed sun porches or open wood pergolas are common.58

Bungalow

Influenced by the small Craftsman style houses of California that were given extensive publicity in architectural plan books and lifestyle magazines, small Bungalow style houses became the most popular and fashionable modest houses in the United States during the early twentieth century. From 1910 to 1940, the Bungalow was a popular residential style in Wisconsin. The style is primarily characterized by its plan rather than its aesthetics. While there are many variants, Bungalows are typically one or one-and-one-half stories in height with simple horizontal lines, wide projecting roofs, one or two large porches, and plain woodwork. The upper level in two stories examples is subdued visually to give the house a one-story look. Roofs can be gabled or hipped and commonly have decorative, exposed rafter tails. Other characteristic features include a dominant fireplace and chimney, exposed and exaggerated structural elements, and massive piers or porch supports. Buildings of this style are clad in natural materials such as wood clapboards or shingles, brick, stone, stucco, or a combination thereof. The exterior design is commonly adapted to many different stylistic interpretations and can be seen with Colonial, Craftsman, Tudor, Japanese, and Spanish influences.59

Art Moderne / Streamline Moderne

Related to the Art Deco, Art Moderne was also a futuristic movement celebrating the advancement of technology and industrialism, however, more volumetric, streamlined, and devoid of historical references. The Art Moderne style was popular in Wisconsin from 1930 to 1950. The style is characterized by smooth wall finishes, round corners, and emphasized horizontality, for which it is often also referred to as Streamline Moderne. Examples are typically constructed of concrete and feature flat roofs, narrow bands of windows often continuing around corners, windows or entire walls of glass block, mirrored panels, horizontal banding, circular elements, and little to no surface decoration. What decoration did exist was focused at doorways and windows and consisted of metal or structural glass panels or trim. Aluminum and stainless steel were widely used materials in this style for doors, windows, railings, and balusters.60

Bankers Modern Styles (1935-1975)

While residential architecture was dominated through the first decades of the twentieth century by the eclectic Period Revival styles, the economic necessity for small, affordable houses during the Great Depression and changing architectural fashions after World War II led a major shift toward modern residential styles. New Federal Housing Administration (FHA) policies after World War II that were aimed at helping every returning veteran own their own home exerted a monumental influence on the subsequent, vast construction of single-family suburban neighborhoods across the country. Averse to financing more dramatic modern architecture for houses, the banks providing FHA-insured loans preferred and promoted more conservative modern styles, primarily Minimal Traditional and Ranch. For this reason, these styles are now commonly referred to as “Bankers” Modern styles. Ranch style houses dominated residential architecture through the 1970s.61

Minimal Traditional

The Minimal Traditional style was the most successful response to the challenging conditions that affected home construction in the United States when the Great Depression shut down the home-building industry. The development of small houses was encouraged by the FHA, which was created in 1934 to ensure low-interest long-term mortgage loans to stabilize the housing industry. To ensure that home ownership could remain attainable for most Americans, the FHA limited the maximum home sale price it insured so that the average home size and cost remained affordable. The architecture and residential design professions, desperate for work after 1930, enthusiastically embraced the challenge of designing small houses, and the subject soon dominated professional publications and house pattern books. The most influential publications were the FHA’s Principles of Planning Small Houses bulletins as builders knew that following their guidelines was the best way to ensure construction funds and insured mortgages for home buyers. The imminent threat of World War II and subsequent increased wartime production caused an unprecedented number of relocated workers to need small, affordable housing; this resulted in the construction of approximately 2.3 million residences across the country between 1940 and 1945. At the war’s end, a similar need arose to house the nation’s 10 million returning servicemen, resulting in an additional 5.1 million residences being constructed by 1949. Many homes constructed during this time were Minimal Traditional. Postwar prosperity led to the rise in the popularity of larger, Ranch style homes, which replaced the dominant Minimal Traditional style after 1950.62

The Minimal Traditional style, popular from 1935 to 1950, utilized the traditional form of contemporaneous Period Revival styles, particularly Colonial and Tudor Revival, however, it was distinctly modern in its characteristic lack of ornament. The style is typified by its one or one-and-one-half-story height, simple L- and T-shaped plans, low or moderately pitched, and most often gabled roofs with shallow eaves. The exterior is typically clad in a single material to make the house appear larger. Examples may feature a prominent entry with simple porch or platform steps, bay windows, shutters, or chimney.63

Ranch

The Ranch style originated in California during the mid-1930s, very loosely based on early Spanish Colonial pitched roof courtyard houses of the American Southwest and was spread across the country by California-based Sunset Magazine with its 1946 publication Western Ranch Houses. Other residential housing magazines soon joined the trend in promoting the style and the casual family-oriented lifestyle it well suited. They often described the style as “middle of the road modern” and “modern inside, traditional outside.” As the automobile became the principal means of transportation in the country after World War II, the standard narrow urban lot style of development was replaced by a form with wider sprawling lots, and the Ranch style became the dominant architectural style for single family residences throughout the United States, particularly in large suburban tract developments.64

Ranches, popular from 1935 to 1975, are typically broad, single story houses with emphasized horizontality, built low to the ground, and rectangular, L-, or U-shaped in plan with asymmetrical façades. Roofs are low-pitched and often hipped or gabled, commonly with moderate or wide overhanging eaves. A garage is attached to the main façade facing the street, side, or rear. Typically, the front entrance is located off center, almost always sheltered under the main roof of the house, and often recessed. Single or paired entry doors

55 are common and may range from a simple, plain flush door to having heavily decorative, curvilinear, or square panels with a single or matching sidelights or side panels. Entry or partial width porches, also almost always contained under the main roof of the house, can be found. When present, porch supports are most often simple wood posts or patterned wrought iron. As a remarkable range of pre-manufactured windows were available during the era, most Ranch houses feature a variety of different sizes and types of windows in either metal or wood with horizontal or multi-pane light patterns. One or more large picture windows are universally present, commonly with operable sections; however, in later examples, groups of tall fixed vertical panes were often used instead of a large single picture window. Short windows are often grouped into ribbons placed high in the wall, often in bedrooms to allow light and ventilation without loss of privacy and to accommodate flexibility in furniture arrangement. Corner windows with corner support, sliding glass doors, and jalousie windows are common. Exterior elaborations are common, including built-in planters, emphasized heavy chimneys, masonry screen walls, rear covered verandas, and rear patios often with built-in or free-standing masonry grills. Wooden or aluminum siding and brick are the most typical wall claddings, often used in combination with the entry area differentiated from the main body of the house. Examples of the Ranch style may incorporate modest elements of other traditional styles. While commonly constructed throughout the Ranch era, more heavily styled Ranches are classified as “Styled Ranches” of the “New Traditional” movement.65

Split-Level Ranch

Split-Level Ranches originated during the 1930s but were especially popular between 1950 and 1975 and are a multi-story variation of the one-story Ranch. As such, Split-Levels retain the horizontal lines, low-pitched roof, overhanging eaves, and other characteristic elements of the Ranch style in a multi-story form. Split-Levels are comprised of three or more separate floor levels that are staggered and separated from each other by partial flights of stairs. Typically, each distinct level corresponds to one of three general functions: noisy living areas, quiet living areas, and sleeping areas. The lowest level houses the garage and a family room. The mid-level wing houses the quiet living areas, and the upper level contains the bedrooms. The middle level most often is the location for the main entry and may feature a one-and-one-half story foyer. The style can feature a wide variety of exterior wall materials, often multiple materials in combination. Examples of the style may incorporate modest elements of other traditional styles, particularly Colonial Revival. While commonly constructed throughout the Ranch and Split- Level era, more heavily styled later period Split-Levels are classified as “Styled Ranches” of the “New Traditional” movement.66

New Traditional Styles (1935-present)

While some Period Revival styles continued to be built into the 1960s, residential architecture during the period from 1950 to 1970 was dominated by modern forms and styles. However, some modern style houses were constructed with traditional detailing in the form of the Styled Ranch styles. By the late 1960s, a new period began reviving the popularity of traditional forms and detailing, especially for residential architecture. New Traditional styles and a renewed taste for traditional architectural details came to dominate residential architecture during the 1970s, nurtured by nostalgia inspired by the United States’ Bicentennial anniversary in 1975 and the growing historic preservation movement. Early examples of these styles showed a little attempt at closely copying historic precedents, applying historic details such as Tudor half-timbering, Georgian doorways, Second Empire mansard roofs, or Queen Anne spindlework onto one-story Ranch, Split-Level, or two-story contemporary forms. As the end of the twentieth century neared and home building boomed, preferences changed to more accurate interpretations of historic styles with simple roof forms and unified stylistic detailing. This era soon became the period with houses designed in the broadest range of architecture styles ever constructed at the same time, including revivals of almost every style found in American architectural history.67

Styled Ranch

Soon after the development of the Ranch style in California during the mid-1930s and its spread across the country during the 1940s, it became the dominant residential housing style of the mid- twentieth century. While one side of the Ranch style’s popularity was its modern attributes, some still preferred references to historic styles. This resulted in the application of traditional style detailing creating variations that are now referred to as Styled Ranches, which were popular during the Ranch era from 1935 to 1975 but continued to dominate one-story house design through 1985. Styled Ranches retain many of the characteristic Ranch elements including the generally broad rectangular L- or U-shaped plans and horizontal emphasis, however, they often lack the low-pitched roofs with broad overhanging eaves, short windows, and picture windows while featuring slightly higher pitched roofs, prominent entries, and multi-paned windows. Styled Ranches can have a one-story, one-and-one-half story, or split-level forms. Ranch forms met the demise of their popularity in the late 1980s, when changing tastes, desires for larger homes, and rising land prices began to favor two-story houses.68

As the Ranch style originated in California during the mid-1930s, very loosely based on early Spanish Colonial pitched roof courtyard houses of the American Southwest, early Ranch homes exhibiting more heavily Spanish Colonial Revival styled were the earliest subtype of Styled Ranches. Spanish Styled Ranches were constructed throughout the entire Ranch era and beyond into the 1980s; however, the style remained most popular in the region of its conception, California and the Southwest. Spanish Styled Ranches are characterized by stucco or buff-colored brick cladding and features that include tiled roofs that are most often red and round or parabolic arches, especially at front entries, principle windows, porches, or

59 courtyard entrances. Exposed roof rafters and beams, wood or metal window grilles and balconettes, and inward-slanting chimneys or wing walls are also common.69

Colonial Revival Styled Ranches evolved from the Minimal Traditional style and Cape Cod subtype of the Colonial Revival style homes of the 1940s. Colonial Revival Style Ranches are often symmetrical or include a symmetrical main block with a side-gabled or hipped roof. They are most often clad in red brick veneer or wood siding with wings in a secondary material. Characteristic elements include a prominent and often centered front door with Colonial Revival surround or entry porch, dormers, and other Colonial Revival details.70

Tudor Styled Ranches were most popular during the 1970s and 1980s and are typified by exterior decorative wood half-timbering most often infilled with stucco, which appears on almost all examples of the style. Other characteristic elements include full gable, clipped gable, and cross-gable roofs; combinations of exterior wall materials, most often brick veneer, wood siding, and stucco; casement windows, sometimes with diamond-shaped muntin patterns; and decorative garage doors.71

French Styled Ranches were most popular during the 1970s and 1980s and are typified by at least one portion, most commonly a central main block, covered by a steeply pitched hipped roof. Examples may be asymmetrically composed or a symmetrical block with side wing forms. Other characteristic elements include brick veneer exterior cladding; segmental arch doors, windows, or dormers; prominent front entry with single or paired paneled doors; and tall narrow shutters.72

One of the earliest decorative themes applied to styled ranches was a “Hansel and Gretel” storybook aesthetic, closely resembling earlier Swiss Chalet revival styles, popular primarily during the 1950s. Storybook Styled Ranches are characterized by deep decorative verge boards, scalloped trim, diamond-shaped windowpanes, and decorative window boxes.73

Mansard

At a time when residential architecture was dominated by the modern and more informal Ranch and Contemporary styles, the Mansard style was one of the sole traditional and formal residential styles still built as it could meet many zoning ordinances or deed restrictions that only allowed one-story houses or low roof heights in many new subdivisions from the 1940s through the 1970s, as a full story of living space could fit under its characteristic massive mansard roof. With the top floor’s exterior clad in roofing material, the style was relatively inexpensive to build with the substantial saving on masonry wall veneer. As such, the style became popular for small scale commercial buildings and apartments in addition to single family homes. Popular from 1940 to 1985, the Mansard style is characterized by its namesake roof which is typically covered with shingles or decorative roofing materials and may feature flared eaves. Houses are most often one- or two stories in height, with the mansard roof typically forming the walls of the second story and containing dormer windows on its steep lower slope. Exterior walls on the lower levels are most often clad with brick veneer. A segmental arch over the entry door, windows, or dormers is common. Other common elements include double doors with curvilinear or circular patterns, entry door often recessed, masonry wall chimneys, and quoins. Later examples commonly feature round arches, projecting central or side wings, a projecting ledge at the top or bottom of mansard, and windows that interrupt the roof’s cornice line.74

New Traditional

While the Colonial Revival style remained popular through the 1950s, later examples were more simply detailed and limited to a small number of forms. By the 1970s, a new revival began which has become known as the New Traditional Colonial style inspired by the full range of English and Colonial precedents. While early examples of the New Traditional Colonial style were free adaptations of historic precedent and often oddly proportioned, better proportioned, and often architect-designed houses began being built by the 1980s. Characteristic elements remain like the earlier Colonial Revival style.75 A renewed interest in Classical architecture inspired by the American Bicentennial saw an emulation of the earlier Neoclassical and Georgian Revival styles in the New Traditional Classical style. Like its precedents, the style is typified by a porch with full height columns or pilasters on the main façade. While early examples of the New Traditional Colonial style saw these elements freely applied to a variety of house forms with little concern for historically accurate detailing, better proportioned and detailed houses more closely modeled after historic classical precedents began being built by the 1980s.76 A renewed interest in the earlier Tudor Revival style began during the late 1970s. Similar to the earlier style, the New Traditional Tudor style features dominant steeply pitched front-facing gabled roofs and characteristic half-timbering. While early examples of the style saw these elements freely applied to a variety of house forms with little concern for historically accurate detailing, better proportioned and detailed houses more closely modeled after historic precedents eventually began being built by the 1980s.77

A renewed interest in American Craftsman and Bungalow style architecture began during the 1990s. The style is characterized by simple exterior and interior detailing. Like the earlier styles, the New Traditional Craftsman style features combinations of exterior wall cladding including brick or stone veneer, stucco, and horizontal or shingle siding of either wood, vinyl, or fiber cement. A higher percentage of New Traditional Craftsman houses are two stories than were their twentieth-century precedents. Roofs are typically low- to moderately pitched gables, often broad with wide overhanging eaves and either exposed rafter tails or triangular brackets. Front porches are common and most often with tapered square columns and masonry clad piers; porches may be screened. Windows can be standard or cottage style double hung or casements in a variety of sizes and groupings commonly with Prairie style or other muntin patterns.78

Modern Styles (1920-present)

As many of the most elite European architects fled Europe during World War II, their austere International Style swept the United States from the 1930s to the 1950s, especially in its influence of commercial architecture. These early styles were the impetus to the development of numerous veins of modern architecture through the present day. Architectural historians and architects are now identifying names for many of these theories of architecture as buildings of these genres begin to reach sufficient age to be evaluated for significance per National Register of Historic Places criteria for evaluation.79

Contemporary Style / Mid-Century Modern

The Contemporary style was the most popular architectural style among American architects from 1945 to 1965. The style was largely influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and his small, affordable Usonian houses that he began designing in the late 1930s which were constructed of natural materials, built low to the ground, had broad sheltering roof overhangs, and featured open plan interiors with significant spatial and visual connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. It took until the early 1950s for Wright’s ideas to enter and eventually sweep mainstream American architectural design. The Contemporary style is often also referred more generally as Mid-Century Modern. The style is characterized by its use of natural cladding materials, especially wood, stone, and brick, as well as low-pitched gabled roofs with widely overhanging eaves, commonly exposed roof beams, and windows generally present in the gable ends or just below the roofline on non-gabled façades. Flat, slant, and butterfly roofs are also common, as well as openings in the roof to allow natural light.80

Contemporary style buildings may look completely different from one side to another. Front façades may reveal little about the building itself, with broad expanses of uninterrupted wall surface typical as well as recessed or obscured entry doors. Rear and side façades are often window walls composed of sections of large, mostly fixed, single panes of glass; this indoor- outdoor connection is further enhanced by floor and ceiling materials and roof beams that continue from the inside out, making the glass wall seem to disappear. Exposed timbers and beams, low broad chimneys, and carports are other common elements.81

International

After World War I, during the dominant eclectic Period Revival era in the United States, European architects were developing a new style of dramatic modern buildings; most notably Le Corbusier in France, J.J.P. Oud and Gerrit Rietveld with the De Stijl movement in Holland, and Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe of the Bauhaus design school in Germany. They intended to create a new international architecture independent of specific materials, sites, or cultural traditions that did not imitate or recall past styles. The New York Museum of Modern Art first christened the movement of the International Style at its influential ‘Modern Architecture: International Exhibition’ in 1932. The exhibition’s accompanying publication, The International Style: Architecture Since 1922, by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Phillip Johnson identified three main principles of the style. The first is an emphasis on volume or space enclosed by thin planes instead of a suggestion of mass and solidity. The second was regularity, an underlying orderliness seen clearly before the outside surfaces are applied. The third principle was the avoidance of applied, surface decoration, instead of depending on the intrinsic qualities of the materials, technical perfection, and proportions for aesthetic richness. While several European architects moved to the United States and practiced in the style as early as the 1920s, it wasn’t until the elite Bauhaus architects came fleeing Hitler during World War II that their theories had a profound influence on this country. Their presence at some of the most

65 prominent American architecture schools swiftly replaced the former Beaux Arts curriculum and widely disseminated their new ideas across the country. Also, of great influence was Le Corbusier’s view of the house as a “machine for living” which emphasized functionalism as prime importance and the discord of traditional residential elements that were merely decorative. These ideas proved very appealing in a time of rapidly advancing technology.82

The International Style has remained popular from 1925 through the present day. The style is typified by buildings constructed with a lightweight structural skeleton that allows walls to serve solely as an enclosure of space and provide flexibility for fenestration to reflect interior needs. Hallmark characteristics include smooth and unornamented wall surfaces with a unifying cladding, asymmetrical façades composed of large and often linear window groupings and expanses of windowless wall surface, flat roofs without coping at the roofline, and a lack of decorative detailing at doors or windows. Windows tend to be grouped in vertical or horizontal bands, most often metal casements, commonly wrapping around corners. Cantilevered roofs, projections, or balconies are also common.83

The earliest examples are most often small, cube-like houses typically covered with glazed tile, white painted stucco, brick, or concrete block. If present, detailing is most likely of an Art Moderne influence. By the late 1930s, smooth board and plywood or composition panels were also used, as was the addition of an accent brick or stone wall. Houses after 1945 often incorporated a courtyard or entry hall to separate public living areas from private sleeping areas; front, side, rear, and interior courtyards especially gained popularity during this time.84

Glass as a primary exterior cladding material on residential and commercial buildings alike became a popular International Style component during the late 1940s; this “Miesian” use of glass curtain walls became especially popular for commercial buildings. Wall materials on later examples began to include poured-in-place or tilt-up pre-cast concrete. During the 1970s, a revival that continues to this day began based on the earliest white stucco-clad houses, however with façades of a far greater percentage of glass.85

Shed

The Shed style, popular from 1965 to 1990, was an architectural movement to create dynamic interior spaces using bold diagonals, counterpointed shapes, and multiple massing in reaction to the standard orthogonal forms of the International Style. The style also reflected a new interest in “architecture without architects” and a desire for useful and simply built houses inspired by vernacular buildings such as barns, mining structures, and folk houses. The Shed style is characterized as an asymmetrical composition of box-like forms capped with single sloped shed roofs facing a variety of directions and occasionally coupled with a gabled roof, all with smooth roof-wall junctures most commonly with little or no overhang. With little added detail, elaborations are primarily various, asymmetrically placed simple windows, including ribbons of clerestory windows on high façades or above lower roof forms, vertical groupings of tall narrow upper windows over short lower panes, square box-bay “saddlebag” windows, and windows with boxed frames. Windows are typically fixed panes set flush with the exterior wall, the tops of which may be flat or sloped with the angle of the roof; there are typically few window openings on walls that face public areas. Exteriors are typically clad in vertical, diagonal, horizontal, or shingle wood siding, plywood that imitates wood siding, and occasionally brick veneer, sometimes in combination. When present, chimneys are most often unelaborated and clad in wood. Examples are typically one or one-and-one-half stories in height. The Shed style was also well suited for passive solar building methods of the emerging environmental movement of the 1970s.86

Vernacular Forms

Vernacular architecture is a term for buildings easily described as a “backdrop” to others that can be attributed to the previously described styles. These common buildings, whose distinguishing characteristic is their simplicity, are generally classified by their exterior massing, roof shape, and the number of stories.87

Front Gable

The front gable was a common form for houses, commercial buildings, halls, churches, schools, and other types of buildings in both rural and urban Wisconsin communities from 1840 to well into the twentieth century. Characterized by a rectangular plan and gabled roof, the form is named so as its major façade is placed on the gable end of the building. Front gable buildings are most commonly one-and-one-half stories in Wisconsin; however, one, two, and two-and-one- half story versions are found. Dormers can be found on half-story versions on one or both sides of the gabled roof. Proportions of earlier examples of the form are narrower than the later, generally broader examples regardless of the number of stories. Correspondingly, roofs of earlier examples tend to be steeper, and later versions more gently sloped. While typically symmetrical, a central or offset entry door may be sheltered by a small porch uncovered stoop or full porch with a shed or hipped roof. The front gable form typically has a clapboard-clad, or occasionally brick, exterior. Simply detailed sills and lintels turned porch posts, decorative shingles, and oversized parlor windows are commonly the only decorative embellishment associated with the form, a lack of which disassociates the form from recognized styles of the same period in which the front gable form predominates. This front gable form should not be confused with mundane versions of other major styles.88

Side Gable

The side gable form, while also used for commercial and public buildings, is predominately one of the earliest and most universal of all residential forms; it has been built around the world for centuries and during all periods of white settlement in Wisconsin with a variety of materials by various ethnic groups, especially between 1840 and 1940. The form is characterized by a rectangular plan and generally low-sloped gabled roof with its major façade on one of the long sides and its roof gables on the short ends. The side gable form is often adapted to half-story heights with or without dormers, from one to three stories; the one-and-one-half story version is most common in Wisconsin. While most are covered in clapboards, side gable buildings can also be commonly found constructed of fieldstone, cut stone, or brick. Many early examples are log or timber-framed structures. As with other vernacular forms, earlier examples also tend to be narrower, often only one room wide. Added wings are quite common on the side gable form, often as a one-story with a shed roof along the rear wall or as perpendicular extensions that form a T- or L-shaped plan to the rear. Porches are common, partially, or entirely spanning the front façade, and may have the building’s only decorative embellishment such as small brackets or turned posts. The porch roof is generally not an extension of the main roof but is a separate shed, flat, or hipped roof.89

Gabled Ell

The gabled ell form is one of the most ubiquitous vernacular building types built in Wisconsin from 1860 to 1910 and nearly always residential. The name is attributed to all buildings that are cruciform, L-, or T-shaped in plan. Gabled ells appear as two gabled wings perpendicular to each other, except for the cruciform version which appears as a central front gable wing flanked by perpendicular wings on each side. Although it is uncertain with what frequency construction of the two wings of the gabled ell form was done as a whole unit, it is certain that the form commonly evolved from front or side gable buildings. Examples of the gabled ell form exhibit a

69 variety of combinations of stories amongst its multiple wings, although a one-and-one-half story main block with a one-story side wing is most common. Constrained by generally narrow urban lot sizes, gabled ells appear more commonly in rural or small communities. Exterior surfaces are most often covered with clapboards; however, brick and stone are not uncommon. A porch with either a shed or a hipped roof is almost always located at the ell created by the junction of the two wings and has often been enclosed. The main entry door, located on the porch, is commonly located on either or both walls. The only decorative elements of the gabled ell are generally bracketing, turned posts, and a balustrade on the porch, making it the most visually interesting element of the otherwise simple form. Early examples may exhibit modest references to the Greek Revival or Italianate styles.90

Cross Gabled

Unlike other vernacular forms, the cross gable did not appear until late in the nineteenth century, commonly built in Wisconsin from 1890 to 1930. Examples of the form are usually two stories in height, roughly square in plan, and featuring a cross gable or cross gambrel roof; the term “cross” referring to two intersecting, identical roofs whose ridges form a cruciform. Lesser examples may achieve the crossed gabled roofs with a greatly oversized roof or wall dormers. Early cross gable examples tend to feature delicate reminders of the Queen Anne style, while later examples may exhibit broad proportions, squatty form, and other elements of the American Foursquare and Bungalow styles. However, because of their simplicity and general lack of adornments, cross gabled buildings are not strongly associated with any style. Rooflines broken by small gables and full front porches with low, often gabled, roofs are typical. On the most common clapboard-clad examples, porches often feature wood balustrades; however, masonry examples with either masonry or wooden porches are not uncommon. Windows are often paired or tripled and randomly spaced on all but the front façade, which may be organized

70 symmetrically despite a typically offset front door. Varying window sizes and shapes often reflect the interior location of baths, kitchens, and staircases.91

Construction Materials and Methods

Wood

Because of its abundance in the area, wood has historically been the primary material for construction in Wisconsin. Wood has been used for residential construction in the form of studs, rafters, clapboards, shingles, and shakes. Many of Wauwatosa’s older historic buildings were originally sided with wood clapboard.

Stone

Stone was a popular construction material historically due to its fire resistive properties and aesthetic qualities. It was used in churches, schools, and high-end houses. A wide variety of masonry construction techniques and stone types were used throughout Wauwatosa, including un-coursed fieldstone, un-coursed ledgerock, un-coursed roughly square, coursed ashlar, and random coursed ashlar. While there are a few examples of more refined, smooth cut stone facades, many stone buildings in Wauwatosa have rusticated stone facades with rectangular or square building stones having a rough or rock face.

Limestone was quarried locally in southeastern Wisconsin; and during the period of much Wauwatosa’s development during the nineteenth and turn of the twentieth centuries, it was considered one of the best materials for foundations and was also used extensively for windowsills and other decorative trim on masonry buildings. On many high-quality residences in Wauwatosa, limestone was used to cover portions or the entire façade. Brown, red, or tan colored sandstone was also used, almost exclusively, for trim and other carved ornaments. Marble and granite can be found less commonly on building exteriors in Wauwatosa, due to their higher cost and general rarity.

During the twentieth century, stone was popularly used as a veneer on many of Wauwatosa’s public, religious, and institutional buildings as well as on the finest and even some more modest residences.

Brick

Historically, brick was a popular building material in Wisconsin. Due to fear of fire, it became widely used in industrial buildings and commercial buildings as a replacement for earlier wood framed buildings. Its use was also prevalent for constructing churches, schools, and houses. During the early twentieth century, it became especially popular as a veneer, especially on wood- framed houses. Typical bonding techniques found in Wauwatosa include common bond, herringbone, and basket weave patterns and colors range from cream, tan, and red to brown.

Aluminum

While aluminum siding is typically considered as a replacement siding which has an adverse effect on a building’s architectural integrity, this is not always the case. After World War II, aluminum became popular with both builders and homeowners as a low-maintenance alternative to wood siding. Aluminum rapidly became the standard siding material for new construction, especially on small, cost-efficient Ranch and simplified Colonial Revival style residences built in from the 1940s onward.

Ernest Flagg

Ernest Flagg was born in 1857. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and returned to New York to practice architecture. Flagg was responsible for the notable designs of the Singer Building in New York City, the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington DC, and many Naval Academy buildings in Annapolis. He also wanted to develop affordable and aesthetically pleasing single family homes during the 1920s.98

In 1922, he wrote Small Houses: Their Economic Design and Construction, which outlined efficient construction methods, such as reducing the thickness of floors and partitions and eliminating attics. Demonstration model homes were constructed in New York, and the module system and standardized parts were popularized in national magazines beyond architectural trade magazines and journals. Common characteristics of Flagg houses include dormers, to help avoid the excessive appearance of height yet allow high amounts of daylight to the interior, and ‘mosaic rubble’ exterior walls, with stones, placed dry into forms with mortar squeezed into the joints after construction like a mosaic.99

Flagg sold his plans to builders all over the country. In Milwaukee County, Flagg’s designs were constructed by local builder Arnold F. Meyer. Meyer constructed approximately 25 homes based on Flagg’s plans in Milwaukee County before financial problems ended his company in 1925. There are five Flagg-designed houses constructed by Meyer in Wauwatosa, located at 6839 Cedar Street, 2021 Church Street, 325 Glenview Avenue, 7105 Grand Parkway, and 7707 Stickney Boulevard. All twelve of the extant Flagg model houses in the greater Milwaukee area including the five in Wauwatosa, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Charles L. Lesser

Charles Lesser was born in Milwaukee in 1864 as the son of German immigrants. In 1881, he apprenticed with the architect Howland Russel and worked in firms in Omaha and St. Louis. He returned to Milwaukee in 1887 to work as a draftsman in the office of T. N. Philpot and joined Gustave H. Leipold in 1888, taking over Philpot’s practice. He then joined Henry J. Van Ryan and Frank Andree in 1891. By 1901, Lesser had established his practice in Milwaukee on South 9th Street. He joined his old partner, Frank Andree in 1917, and Joseph Lindl and Albert Oscar Schmidtill House, 1910 6740 Maple Terrace Schutte in 1919, forming the firm of Lindl, Lesser, and Schutte. Lesser left the firm in 1925 to start his own business again, which continued to the end of his career. His work is marked by a variety of types of projects including manufacturing plants, foundries, churches, office buildings, grain elevators, schools, and a few houses in the Milwaukee region. Many of his designs are marked by explicitly ethnic inspirations and unusual geometry in what are otherwise utilitarian and revival style buildings. In 1924, Lesser moved to the Washington Heights neighborhood of Wauwatosa and designed over a dozen homes in the city. He had previously lived on the south side of Milwaukee and was responsible for many of the Schlitz Brewing Company warehouses and tied house taverns in that part of the city during the 1910s and 1920s, while Charles Kirchhoff, another notable Milwaukee architect, did most of the Schlitz Company work on the north side of the city.

Robert H. Smith

Robert Smith was born in Wauwatosa in 1892 and attended the University of Illinois in 1910 but did not graduate. By 1912, he worked at Jerry Donahue Engineers in Sheboygan, which also worked closely with Hegemann and Peets in 1916 on the Village of Kohler master plan and 89 landscaping. Smith became a licensed civil engineer in 1918 and lived with his family in Milwaukee by 1920. In 1922, he partnered with Charles Burd as the Smith and Burd Civil and Landscape Engineers but had begun working in real estate development instead by 1924, establishing his own company in Wauwatosa the same year. Smith referred to himself as an architect, though he had no formal training or license. By 1925, the first homes developed by the Robert Smith Company were constructed in Wauwatosa in the Ritter Highland View Leslie and Frances Vander Linde House, 1925 8230 Rockway Court subdivision north of the river and on the Brookside Subdivision south of the river. The houses themselves were all high-end Tudor Revival style homes built speculatively and arranged on curving landscaped streets. Robert Smith’s office was located along North Avenue in Milwaukee and went out of business in 1930. During the 1930s and 1940s, he continued to work independently as a civil engineer and established Neopak, a packaging company, in the 1950s.

Charles W. Valentine

Charles Valentine was born in Milwaukee in 1879. In 1897, Valentine entered the office of Ferry and Clas as a draftsman. He remained at the firm until 1909 and opened his own architectural office in 1910 in the Brewer’s Hill neighborhood. By the 1910s, however, Valentine and his family had moved to the northern suburbs of Milwaukee. His work was almost exclusively residential throughout his career and catered to a rising upper-middle-class on the north and west sides of Milwaukee and its suburbs, not uncommon for architects of the period. His work Joseph and Helen Kilbert House, 1929 8217 Brookside Place was usually in a variety of revival styles, though he also produced a wide range of bungalows. A registered architect, Valentine was also a well- regarded artist, working in watercolors and graphite sketches. Valentine, of German descent, also catered to a move in the 1920s among Wisconsin elites to favor more “American” styles of architecture in place of the Renaissance German Revival styles that Milwaukee’s German population preferred around the turn-of-the-century. Thus, Colonial, English-Tudor, and Bungalow forms were popular in the Milwaukee area during the period, and Valentine, among many architects, specialized in these styles. Valentine retired in 1940 but was went back to work with the firm of Brust and Brust for a short time in 1946 until his death in 1951.106 Buildings attributed to Charles Valentine in the survey include the following:

Russell Barr Williamson

Russell Barr Williamson was born in 1893 in Royal Center, Indiana. He graduated from the Kansas State School of Architecture in 1914 and moved to Chicago to work in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright. During this time, he supervised the planning and construction of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. In 1918, Williamson left Wright’s office and settled briefly in Kansas City, Missouri. He left Kansas City to work with Arthur L. Richardson in Milwaukee by 1921. That same year, he was licensed as an architect in Wisconsin and moved into a new home of his design in Whitefish Bay.107

91

He became known as the designer of smaller Prairie style homes, economical in scale and materials, that adhered to a low profile, likely influenced by his time with Wright. Williamson collaborated with local builders such as the Milwaukee Realty & Construction Company and the American Builder’s Service who constructed his low-cost standardized housing in the 1920s. His work can be interpreted as the adaptation of the Prairie style to mass-production, using overhanging eaves, horizontal banding, and materials such as concrete masonry. In the early Alex Birno House, 1921 7104 Cedar Street 1950s, Williamson moved to Oostburg, Wisconsin, where he continued to practice until he died in 1964.108 There are twelve known houses in Wauwatosa attributed to Williamson, five of which are located within the boundaries of this phase of the survey.

Marshall Erdman and Associates

Mausas Erdmanas was born in Tverai, Lithuania in 1922. He emigrated to the United States in 1938 to live with an uncle in Chicago and changed his name to Marshall Erdman. Erdman studied architecture at the University of Illinois and joined the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1943. He returned to finish his degree following the end of World War II and received an additional degree in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1946. Erdman established a construction company the same year to take advantage of rapid R. J. Sear House, 1954 building and development at the time. The 1279 N 85th Street company incorporated as Marshall Erdman and Associates in 1951. Specializing in the design and construction of small healthcare buildings, the firm grew rapidly. One of his first major projects was the construction of the Unitarian Meeting House in Shorewood Hills, Wisconsin designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The project bankrupted the young company but provided it with national notoriety.111

A pioneer in design-build practices and prefabricated building systems, Erdman worked closely with architect Frank Lloyd Wright on several projects during the 1950s. Other significant projects of the firm include the Marshall Erdman Prefab Houses in Madison completed from 1956 to 1961, medical offices at Doctor’s Park in Madison from 1956 to 1967, the Wyoming Valley School in 1957, the Peace Corps camps of the Virgin Islands in 1965, the first modular medical buildings from 1974 to 1979, and the Middleton Hills planned community in Middleton, Wisconsin in 1993. The company would go on to construct over 500 houses, 2,500 medical office buildings, and dozens of other projects across the country. Erdman also introduced the U- Form-It prefabricated house kits in 1953 and later the Techline office furniture line in 1969.

93

Both embraced the popular modernist aesthetic of their time. By the 1990s, Erdman had over 800 employees and grossed over 175 million dollars a year. Marshall Erdman died in 1995. In 2008, Marshall Erdman and Associates was purchased by Cogdell Spencer, a healthcare real estate investment company.112 Buildings attributed to Marshall Erdman in the survey include the following:

He continued his career as a teacher until 1953; however, he also established the Joseph J. Mollica Company, a building and a real estate brokerage firm, in 1938. His company would go on to construct over 100 high-end houses in suburban Milwaukee during the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. A house designed and built by Mollica’s company, at 7515 Robert Rasmussen House, 1950 West Wisconsin Avenue, won first prize of the 7515 Wisconsin Avenue annual home show of 1950 held by the Milwaukee Board of Realtors. He was also named builder of the year in 1958 and had served as chairperson for the Parade of Homes in Milwaukee County. Mollica served as the president of the Milwaukee Builder’s Association and was the vice president of the National Association of Home Builders during the 1950s.

George Schley and Sons

George Schley was born in Waukesha County in 1868. In 1891, George moved to Milwaukee to work as a bookkeeper and general manager with the People’s Building and Loan Association. In 1898, Schley opened a real estate company along with P. H. Madler. In 1904, the office closed, and Schley opened his own business in 1904 constructing homes speculatively. George Schley was not a trained designer or builder and obtained building plans from stock designs produced by local Milwaukee contractors and architects. His sons Herbert and Perce joined the firm in 1914, and the company began to develop custom design work. Herbert worked primarily on the real estate side of the business, while Perce handled architectural design and construction as the pair

95 slowly took over management of the company. The company was formally incorporated in 1919 and specialized in high-end residential projects in Milwaukee’s north and western suburbs.

While some projects were custom-built for individuals, most were constructed speculatively in large subdivisions in Craftsman, Arts and Crafts, and Colonial Revival styles popular in the 1910s and 1920s. George Schley and his sons constructed and sold many houses in Wauwatosa and the neighboring parts of Milwaukee from the 1900s to the 1960s. The firm was responsible for over 1,000 houses constructed and financed during its history. The business moved from its downtown Milwaukee location in 1942 and, following George’s death in 1945, reopened an Jacob and Ottilia Wellauer Jr. House, 1926 office downtown. The two sons managed the 7010 Wellauer Drive business until their retirement in 1973.115 Buildings attributed to George Schley and Sons in the survey include the following:

Schroeder Bros., Inc.

Henry S., George F., Max. T. and Albert T. Schroeder established a construction and development company as a family business in 1923. The company had early success, becoming one of the largest residential construction firms in the state in the 1920s, with its lumber yard. The Schroeder brothers were among the founders of the Milwaukee Builders Association, known presently as the Metropolitan Builders Association. The company built in a wide variety of the popular Period Revival styles during the 1930s and 1940s. All the firm’s design work was conducted in-house by company employee master carpenters, not architects. By 1940, the company had its offices located at 4614 West Burleigh Street in Milwaukee, not far from Wauwatosa, and described themselves as “builders and designers of high-grade homes.” In the 1960s, the company specialized in custom-built homes. The company is still in business today.116 Buildings attributed to Schroeder Bros., Inc. in the survey include the following:

5 Planning & Landscape Architecture

Patterns of Community Development

Annexation

The original boundaries for the Plat of the Village of Wauwatosa were surveyed and laid out by George Steinhagen in 1892 at the time of the village’s incorporation and extended well beyond the existing developed area. The boundaries remained the same when the village reincorporated as a city five years later. It was not until well into the twentieth century that the city grew through the annexation of land from the Town of Wauwatosa. Many of the annexations closely aligned with subsequent residential subdivisions. Additions included in the survey area were all located south of Wisconsin Avenue as the area north of the street was included in the original plat of the Village of Wauwatosa or was a part of the county grounds.120

6 Notable People

Introduction

This list of “notable people” includes people who have helped to shape the City of Wauwatosa and who resided within the boundaries of this phase of the survey. These people range from entrepreneurs, industrialists, politicians, entertainers, craftsmen, and professionals. Most of these people can be associated with a historic event or building. A list of historic resources associated with these persons is listed at the end of the chapter. This chapter is not intended to include a comprehensive list of individuals who helped to shape Wauwatosa; rather, it provides a list of individuals known at this time to be associated with properties included in this phase of the survey. It is intended to be a work in progress that can lead to future research and can be updated over time as new information is collected. More research may unearth additional notable people and the resources associated with them. If there were no known extant historic resources associated with an individual, or if such resources are located within Wauwatosa but outside the boundaries of this phase of the survey, those persons may not be mentioned in this report as the primary objective of an intensive survey is to identify extant structures with both architectural integrity and historical significance that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Several notable people were previously documented in the survey report of the Wauwatosa Architectural and Historical Intensive of Non-Residential Properties published by Legacy Architecture in 2016, including William Grede, Emerson Hoyt, Charles Jacobus, Enoch Underwood, and Frederick Underwood.122 Additional notable people were included in Phase 1 of the residential survey of the city, also published by Legacy Architecture and completed in 2018, including Theodore Ferguson, Edwin Godfrey, Jr., Charles Hart, Gov. Julius Heil, William Edward Lewis, Maud McCreery, John Morgridge, Henry Nagy, Arthur A. Ornst, William (Bill) Penzey, Jr., Charles Bennett Perry, Richard Schickel, Thomas A. Steitz, and Charles Stickney.123 In addition, many of the resources associated with notable people in the history of Wauwatosa are already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or within historic districts, and were therefore excluded for this survey, including the properties of Rev. Luther Clapp, Lowell Damon, Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day, Thomas B. Hart, and Charles Kirchhoff.

William “Willie G.” Davidson

William Godfrey Davidson, the son of William H. Davidson and the grandson of Harley- Davidson Motorcycles founder William A. Davidson was born in Milwaukee in 1933. He attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and then the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena to study design. After graduation, Davidson worked for Brooks Stevens and then Ford

103 as a designer before finally joining Harley- Davidson in 1963. In 1969, he became the Vice President of styling for the company and headed the Harley-Davidson Product Development Center in Wauwatosa. During the 1970s, he pioneered the development of the FX Super Glide bike, which incorporated the aesthetics of customization into the factory manufacture of motorcycles. Along with lowriding bikes, the Super Glide changed the motorcycle consumer market.124 Willie G. Davidson, c.2012. In 1981, Willie joined with other executives to take a lead in purchasing the Harley-Davidson company from the parent corporation American Machine and Foundry, which allowed the company to follow a distinctive path. Davidson has lived with his family at 534 N. 69th Street since the 1970s. The house was originally constructed in 1928. Davidson retired in 2012. A visible figure in the motorcycling community, he continues to attend rallies and public events across the country as an icon of his namesake brand.125

Nancy Hanschman Dickerson

Nancy Hanschman Dickerson was born in Wauwatosa in 1927. The daughter of Frederick R. and Florence Hanschman, she lived in the family home located at 7009 Cedar Avenue. She attended Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa briefly before going to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where she completed her degree in 1948. Dickerson then moved to Milwaukee to work as a schoolteacher until 1951, when she moved again to Washington, D.C. She took on a position as a Senate Foreign Relations Committee researcher.126

In 1954, Nancy Dickerson was hired to work in CBS’s Washington news bureau and produced a radio show called Capital Cloakroom. Her role in the field as a woman was extremely uncommon as most political reporters and journalists, as well as her subjects, were men. She then became the associate producer of the popular show Face the Nation and, in 1960, became the first female correspondent with CBS. Nancy married businessman C. Wyatt Dickerson in 1962, and the couple had two sons and lived in northern Nancy Dickerson with President John F. Virginia. She then moved to NBC, where she Kennedy shortly after his inauguration in the worked from 1963 to 1970, covering the politically Oval Office, 1961. tumultuous decade in American politics as a recognizable and popular national news correspondent. During this period, she covered live a variety of pivotal events including Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous "I Have a Dream" speech and the assassination of President Kennedy and his funeral.127

In 1980, she established the Television Corporation of America, which produced documentaries. She was the vice president of the National Press Club during the 1970s and received a Peabody Award. In 1989, she moved to New York City and remarried John C. Whitehead, a former Goldman Sachs executive. Nancy Dickerson died in New York in 1997. Her son, John Dickerson, is also a journalist who previously hosted the CBS program Face the Nation regularly.128

Harrison Ludington

Harrison Ludington was born in New York in 1812. He traveled to Milwaukee in 1838 to develop timberland; instead, he opened a prosperous general store in the city. His business success allowed him to invest in logging by 1851. Ludington formed one of Wisconsin’s largest speculative lumber-producing companies, which owned tracts of timberland across the United States. He became involved in local development in Milwaukee and was elected as an alderman twice during the 1860s.129

In 1871, Ludington was elected as Mayor of the City of Milwaukee for three consecutive terms. He was also elected as Governor of the State of Wisconsin from 1876 to 1878. In his political career, during which he was a member of the Republican Party, he was an abolitionist and worked as governor Harrison Ludington, c.1870. to repeal and prevent state regulation of railroads and the financial sector.130

During the 1870s, Ludington purchased 100 acres of land in Wauwatosa for a stock farm. In 1881, he retired from politics and constructed a large house at what is now 343 Glenview Avenue on his farm. The house was constructed in part for his son, Frederick, and his family, who inherited it. Harrison Ludington died in 1891. His son, Frederick, continued to operate the farm and own the house in Wauwatosa after his death. The two adjacent houses were wedding presents to Ludington’s descendants. The farm was subdivided and sold as the Ravenswood subdivision in 1926, and the Ludington House was listed as a local Landmark by the City of Wauwatosa in 1983.131

8 Survey Results

Introduction

The survey conducted on the historical aspects of the City of Wauwatosa shows a genuine abundance of valuable historic properties within the survey boundaries, which comprises approximately 2,450 acres of the city’s total 8,470 acres. Several of the resources surveyed were identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or were included in proposed districts identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The examples found in the survey area suggest a community rich with history and respect for the history of the resources that are available to them. However, an intensive survey is a snapshot in time capturing the readily available information of the moment, and further information can and will come to light.

The principal investigators surveyed approximately 1,065 resources of architectural or historical interest. Of these, eight are individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places for architectural and/or historical significance. (See Chapter 2, Survey Methodology, for an in-depth list of National Register criteria). There were also five proposed districts identified as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places for architectural and/or historical significance comprising a combined total of 401 resources. Of the districts proposed, nearly all are primarily single-family residential areas.

This chapter contains the following results of the survey: a list of individual properties already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a list of historic districts that are primarily or entirely residential already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a list of individual properties identified as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, summaries of the proposed historic districts identified as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, a list of all resources included in the survey, and maps of the survey area where historic resources were identified.

District summaries include a map of the proposed district boundaries, narrative description of the district, statement of the district’s significance and period of significance, verbal boundary description, boundary justification, and a building inventory that lists all resources included within the boundaries and indicates each resource’s contributing or non-contributing status within the district.

Disclaimer: This report was produced and reviewed by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Officer during a period when the provisions of the Covid-19 virus quarantine was in effect. Thus, confirmation in person regarding individual and district eligibility was done remotely

113 rather than on-site in Wauwatosa. National Register of Historic Place potential eligibility must be confirmed subsequently before proceeding.

In addition to the contents of this chapter, several other types of information were gathered and organized through the course of the survey. From this information, the following documents were created: updated entries to the Wisconsin Historical Society’s online Architecture and History Inventory (AHI), photos of every surveyed building, and this report. This architectural and historical intensive survey report and the associated work elements mentioned above are kept at the Historic Preservation Division of the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison. A copy of the report is kept at the Wauwatosa City Hall and the Wauwatosa Public Library.

Proposed Brookside-Rockway Historic District

Narrative Description

The proposed Brookside-Rockway Historic District is a well-defined cluster of 22 buildings situated along North Glenview Avenue on the south side of the City of Wauwatosa and has boundaries roughly delineated by North Glenview Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, North Honey Creek Parkway, and West Bluemound Road. The area of large and modestly sized homes began in 1925 and was developed over the next two decades until reaching full build-out in 1950. Representative of the prevailing architectural styles of their time, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival style residences are prominent within the district.

Intersection of Brookside Place and Rockway Place 8200 block of Rockway Place

Statement of Significance

The proposed Brookside-Rockway Historic District was identified for its concentration of single- family dwellings constructed between 1925 and 1950 with a high level of historic integrity having local significance in the area of Architecture under National Register Criterion C as one of the most intact concentrations of historic residences in the City of Wauwatosa from its period of significance. The district is comprised of 21 contributing resources and 1 non-contributing resource. Detached garages are not included in this resource count. The dates of construction and historical development of the contributing resources, beginning in 1925 and ending in 1950, constitute the proposed period of significance. The district represents a fine, intact example of a 1920s and 1930s suburban single-family residential neighborhood and gains distinction and cohesion from the prevalence of fine examples of the Tudor Revival style.

Proposed Grand Parkway Historic District

Narrative Description

The proposed Grand Parkway Historic District is a well-defined cluster of 100 buildings situated on the south side of the City of Wauwatosa and has boundaries roughly delineated by West Wisconsin Avenue, North 68th Street, West Bluemound Road, and North 72nd Street. The area of large and modestly sized homes began in 1919 and was developed over the next two decades until reaching full build-out in 1946. A few homes were constructed after this time, presumably on the site of an earlier, now non-extant house. Representative of the prevailing architectural styles of their time, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Prairie, and International style residences are prominent within the district.

Proposed Jennings Park Historic District

Narrative Description

The proposed Jennings Park Historic District is a well-defined cluster of 95 buildings situated on the south side of the City of Wauwatosa and has boundaries roughly delineated by West Wisconsin Avenue, North 76th Street, Mary Ellen Place, and North Honey Creek Parkway. The area of large and modestly sized homes began in 1925 and was developed over the next three decades until reaching full build-out in 1960. Representative of the prevailing architectural styles of their time, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean Revival, and Neoclassical style residences are prominent within the district.

600 block of North 78th Street 600 block of North 79th Street

Statement of Significance

The proposed Jennings Park Historic District was identified for its concentration of single-family dwellings constructed between 1925 and 1960 with a high level of historic integrity having local significance in the area of Architecture under National Register Criterion C as one of the most intact concentrations of historic residences in the City of Wauwatosa from its period of significance. The district is comprised of 91 contributing resources and 4 non-contributing resources. Detached garages are not included in this resource count. The dates of construction and historical development of the contributing resources, beginning in 1925 and ending in 1960, constitute the proposed period of significance. The district represents a fine, intact example of an early to mid-twentieth century suburban single-family residential neighborhood and gains distinction and cohesion from the consistent broad terraces, regularly spaced street trees, consistent large setbacks, and spacious front lawns that anchor the district with predominantly Revival style homes.

Proposed Maple Terrace Historic District

Narrative Description

The proposed Maple Terrace Historic District is a well-defined cluster of 45 buildings situated on the south side of the City of Wauwatosa and has boundaries roughly delineated by North 68th Street, Maple Terrace, Cedar Street, North 66th Street, and West Wells Street. The area of large and modestly sized homes began in 1906 and was developed over the next two decades until reaching full build-out in 1926. A few non-contributing houses were constructed after this time as infill. Representative of the prevailing architectural styles of their time, Bungalow, Craftsman, Prairie, and Arts and Crafts style residences are prominent within the district.

6700 block of Maple Terrace 6700 block of Cedar Street

Statement of Significance

The proposed Maple Terrace Historic District was identified for its concentration of single- family dwellings constructed between 1906 and 1926 with a high level of historic integrity having local significance in the area of Architecture under National Register Criterion C as one of the most intact concentrations of historic residences in the City of Wauwatosa from its period of significance. The district is comprised of 46 contributing resources and 9 non-contributing resources. Detached garages are not included in this resource count. The dates of construction and historical development of the contributing resources, beginning in 1906 and ending in 1926, constitute the proposed period of significance. The district represents a fine, intact example of an early twentieth-century single-family residential neighborhood and gains distinction and cohesion from the concentration of the popular styles of the time including Bungalow, Craftsman, Prairie, and Arts and Crafts style homes.

Introduction

The survey should serve to enhance the overall historic preservation ethic in the City of Wauwatosa. It gives a brief history of the city, identifies historic resources; and can serve as a basis for decision-making activities regarding those resources. This report can be used to create interest and awareness and promote historic resources and preservation issues in the City of Wauwatosa. This chapter outlines the many benefits of and economic incentives for historic preservation and provides preliminary recommendations for future preservation actions in the city.

Community Strategies for Historic Preservation

A historic preservation program can be one of the most effective forms of economic development that a municipality can support. Preservation stimulates both public and private investment in the community and supports major components of the local economy: tourism, construction, and real estate. Historic buildings attract customers and are often sought after, desirable pieces of real estate.

There are many benefits of historic preservation:  Enjoyment and protection of the community’s heritage  Greater civic pride and an increased sense of belonging  Stabilized and improved property values  Stabilized and increased property tax revenues  Investment in and revitalization of older, historic neighborhoods and properties  Limited protection from state or federally funded projects that threaten historic properties or neighborhoods, such as highway expansions  Greater flexibility in meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in historic buildings  More flexibility in meeting state building codes for local historic properties  Increased attractiveness to new businesses  Increased tourism  Decreased crime and vandalism in historic areas  Increased conservation of materials and natural resources  Improved overall quality of life

To achieve these benefits, many incentives for historic preservation have been developed. There are several different types of tax incentives. Property owners who undertake a certified historic

159 restoration or rehabilitation of their property are eligible for income tax credits. Certain historic buildings are also exempt from property taxes, and tax deductions can be utilized for historic façade easements. Additionally, there are several building code incentives. Buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places or buildings that are eligible for listing qualify for the International Existing Building Code’s Historic Buildings Chapter which is slightly more lenient than the standard building code. There is also greater flexibility in meeting the building requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Further information regarding these incentives has been included in the Chapter 11 Appendix.

Recommendation for the Registration & Protection of Resources

Historic Preservation Ordinance

Before any of the above-mentioned benefits of preservation can continue in the City of Wauwatosa, a formal city-wide historic preservation program must be established. In 1994, an act of the Wisconsin Statutes was passed that required all municipalities, like the City of Wauwatosa, which have buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places to “enact an ordinance to regulate any place, structure or object with a special character, historic, archaeological or aesthetic interest, or other significant value, for the purpose of preserving the place, structure or object, and its significant characteristics.” Ordinances serve to protect extant historic resources and officially establish a Historic Preservation Commission. Such an ordinance has already been enacted by the City of Wauwatosa. This was a great step forward in protecting the city’s historic structures.

Historic Preservation Commission

The City of Wauwatosa Historic Preservation Commission should be commended for their ongoing efforts. They hold regular public meetings to tackle the tasks that lie ahead. It is their duty to establish planning policies, educate the community, track and promote benefits, and carry out the program. If or when the budget permits, some consideration may be given to hiring a staff preservation consultant to keep the commission organized, set policies, and carry out the day-to-day operations of the program.

The commission should continue to:  Give consideration during commission appointments to ensure commission members possess knowledge, experience, and interest in the areas of local history, historic preservation, historic architecture, real estate, and law.  Remain accountable to the legal requirements of the city’s preservation ordinance, including specified procedures when meeting to decide upon proposed designations. If unsure of the procedures, the commission should consult with the city attorney.  Maintain familiarity with preservation laws, ordinances, and programs and their benefits including state statutes, the Certified Local Government program, and the National and State Register of Historic Places, historic preservation tax incentives, and community block grants.  Hold regular public meetings preceded by public notice.  Adopt bylaws and standard meeting procedures to regulate the commission’s affairs and ensure their actions do not appear arbitrary.

160

 Adhere to consistent standards and be systematic in enforcing local ordinances.  Maintain accurate records, including minutes of all meetings and hearings, files containing significant information on all designated landmarks and historic districts, files on all applications for designations and certificates of appropriateness, and written reports documenting final decisions regarding proposed designations.  Cultivate annual funding through budget appropriations.  Show results and successfully complete projects to maintain a professional reputation and community acceptance and support.  Develop good relationships with other local municipal bodies such as planning boards, community development offices, city councils, local zoning administrators, and building inspection departments.  Be proactive rather than reactive, as it is often too late to save a building once a demolition permit has been issued or actions that adversely affect a historic property have been taken.  Use a positive approach when a project is not approved, explaining why a project is unacceptable, and offer constructive advice to improve projects, and indicate a willingness to work with the applicant to revise the project.  Publish preservation plans and design guidelines and work to see that such plans are integrated into the city’s overall planning process. Solicit public opinion when developing preservation plans.

More information on all the above can be found in the Historic Preservation Commission Training module on the Wisconsin Historical Society website at www.wisconsinhistory.org.

Certified Local Government

This survey was funded by a grant through the Wisconsin Historical Society. In the future, that same grant money could be used to prepare National Register Nominations, educational activities, the development of a municipal preservation plan, or the administration of historic preservation programs. The Commission should continue its efforts as a Certified Local Government so that it may receive future subgrant monies.

Local Landmarking of Historic Resources

It is hoped that this report will enliven the efforts of the City of Wauwatosa Historic Preservation Commission to continue to identify and landmark historic resources in the city.

National Register Nominations

Listing of a property or historic district in the National Register of Historic Places offers official recognition, owner prestige, and access to state and federal historic tax credits to aid in the funding of restoration, rehabilitation, and maintenance projects at listed historic properties. See the Chapter 11 Appendix for more information on the historic tax credit programs currently available in Wisconsin or visit the Wisconsin Historical Society website at www.wisconsinhistory.org for more information on both the National Register and historic tax credit programs. This report has outlined eight individual resources and five historic districts that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. An effort

161 should be made to follow through with National Register nominations for these individual resources and districts. The Historic Preservation Commission should continue to apply for grants through the Wisconsin Historical Society to fund such nominations, prioritizing municipally owned properties as local examples, then sympathetic owners, and finally irreplaceable resources. The information contained in this survey report will function as a springboard for further research for these nominations.

Threats to Resources

Changes in modern conveniences and increasing public expectations have brought a great deal of pressure on older homes and buildings. This has resulted in the demolition or relocation of several buildings, although Wauwatosa has maintained much of its historic housing stock. In addition, unsympathetic additions and the replacement of original windows and siding with more modern materials that obscure unique historic details have occurred on thousands of buildings throughout the city. These trends are expected to continue. The Historic Preservation Commission should keep abreast of upcoming projects at historic properties. A few properties in the survey area previously recorded were observed to now lack architectural integrity and were consequently taken out of the survey results. Such properties are in the list below, all of which were removed due to a lack of integrity:

Resources Removed from the Survey

J. Zingen House 1926 Colonial Revival

Public Education

In order to gain public support for preservation activities, it is important that the public is educated about the issues. It is also important to remind the community of the buildings that have already been lost as a means to protect historic buildings in the future. Public education efforts should be on-going. Content should highlight the goals of preservation, benefits to the community and individual property owners, and reminders of the common-sense values inherent in historic preservation, such as recycling, cost-savings, visual attractiveness, and quality environment. It is often necessary to address misconceptions and misinformation regarding preservation. Public education initiatives can take many forms:

 Media, such as local television, radio, newspapers, and brochures, can spread the word to many. Having a series of articles on local historic properties run in the local newspaper can be effective.  Displays in public buildings, such as a public library or historical society, can also bring awareness to the community. An example of such a display might include a local

162

architecture and preservation resource shelf at a local library, including information about local historic designations, landmarks, and National Register of Historic Places listed properties and districts.  Publish brochures and newsletters about historic properties and historic preservation in the community; tourism publications can educate visitors about the city’s history.  Sponsor events, such as self-guided or guided walking tours or tours of historic homes, which are often popular and can showcase the community’s historic buildings to both community members and interested visitors.  Work with local schools and institutions to integrate historic preservation into their curriculums. Sponsor contests, such as poster contests in which local school children create posters depicting local landmarks.  Lectures, workshops, and special award presentations on preservation issues can also be useful. Historically appropriate maintenance, window replacement, residing, painting, and porch replacement should be promoted at these types of events.

A set of design guidelines for historic preservation can be developed and distributed to local architects, building owners, contractors, and others in the community. The City of Milwaukee’s series of guides: As Good as New: A Guide for Rehabilitating the Exterior of Your Old Milwaukee Home; Good for Business: A Guide to Rehabilitating the Exteriors of Older Commercial Buildings; and Living with History: A Guide to the Preservation Standards for Historically Designated Homes in Milwaukee are excellent resources for any community and any preservation project.

Future Survey & Research Needs

The purpose of this survey was not to write a definitive history of the City of Wauwatosa, but rather to provide an overview of the history of the city in relation to a series of themes or study units, and to provide basic information on the resources that were identified during the residential reconnaissance survey, which can be used in future planning decisions and increasing public awareness of the history and architecture of the community. It is hoped that this survey will be periodically updated and expanded upon. This report is subject to change. Additional research and clarifications should be incorporated and added to this report in the future. This is a living document and the beginning of an ongoing historic preservation effort that will continue for years to come in this community.

While the city has conducted a survey of non-residential properties across the entire city and an additional two residential surveys, this phase of the survey only covered approximately one third of the city’s residential neighborhoods. In order for the City of Wauwatosa, its residents, and property owners to make the most informed decisions regarding historic buildings and the city’s historic preservation programs, it is imperative to conduct the remaining phase of the residential survey.

Considering that approximately 20% of existing buildings within the United States date from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, many structures will not be considered for potential historic significance for another several decades. However, some of these properties have begun to be eligible for consideration as historic resources in recent years. Furthermore, approximately 49%

163 of existing buildings were constructed after 1980 and will not reach the 50-year threshold until the mid-21st century. In Wauwatosa, this is not the case and most of the housing stock in the city was constructed between 1920 and 1960. While these properties may not be considered historically significant presently, their style and historic significance may become appreciated in the future and therefore, should be discussed in years to come.

Parking areas interpreted for various should be located at the rear of a site and in most types of preservation cases should not abut the historic building. work; however, because there are a wide variety of historic properties, it is impossible to provide a complete set of guidelines to address every situation. This pamphlet is directed to the most common preservation projects. If after reviewing this document you have additional questions about the proposed project, please feel free to contact one of the WHS preservation architects listed below: (by region)

Archeological remains refers to any prehistoric or historic archeological deposits or features that may exist. Significant archeological resources affected by a project must be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures must be undertaken. If human remains are discovered, cease work at that location and contact Sherman Banker at the Wisconsin Historical Society at 608-264-6507.

A secondary facade is one building materials. (Because every method of that is generally visible from public view, but may exterior cleaning carries with it some risk of not contain as many distinguishing architectural damage to masonry materials, you should consider features. A rear facade is one that is usually not carefully whether to clean the building at all.) In seen by the public and contains little architectural most cases, removal of dirt or paint is unnecessary detailing. As a rule, primary facades should be left in order to preserve a building. intact, while rear facades may sometimes be altered more substantially. The Standards specifically prohibit sandblasting in any form (except to clean cast iron, as discussed below). Other forms of blasting are equally damaging and therefore also prohibited such as soda blasting, corn cob blasting and nut shell blasting. High pressure water blasting is equally damaging. Water pressures above 1000 psi can damage most building materials. Water pressure can be used safely at 1,000 psi with the spray wand a minimum of 12” away from the surface. REPAIR OF ORIGINAL FEATURES Repair, rather than replacement, of any feature, Building materials vary widely in composition. such as railings, storefronts, column capitols, a Chemicals that may be applied safely to one dormer or a parapet, is always strongly encouraged. building can result in severe damage to another.

Only those portions of any feature that cleaning the entire building. The owner and/or are deteriorated should be replaced. architect should inspect the test panel for possible damage to the building materials, including mortar joints in masonry walls. The approved test area should be used as a standard by which the rest of the cleaning is evaluated.

Before cleaning metal elements, you need to determine if the metals are ferric or non-ferric. If exterior metal elements are ferric (iron-based) you need to determine if those elements are cast iron or coated metal. Generally, cast iron is used in storefront columns and trim; otherwise, metal trim is likely to be terne or zinc coated steel. Cast iron may be sandblasted to remove dirt or paint but coated steel should be hand-scraped. Sandblasting coated steel will remove the protective coating and will ultimately lead to severe rusting. We recommend that non-ferric metals simply be repainted.

On the other hand, the glazing in many aluminum windows is held in place by a metal flange. The result is that the glass is set back from the frame by only about 1/8" which causes the window sashes to look "flat" and out-of-character with most historic buildings.

ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT MUNTIN To change window materials, you must be able to demonstrate that using the historic material would be technically or financially infeasible.

To demonstrate that the new windows match the old, you must submit comparative window section drawings, showing the head, sill, jamb, and muntin sections of the old and the new windows.

UNACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT MUNTIN

Accurately recreating the muntins (window dividers) is an important detail of replacement windows. Muntins that are sandwiched between the glass, placed on just one side or the other, or that don’t match the historic profile are unacceptable. Muntins must be permanently attached to the exterior, the interior and also have a spacer bar between the 2 panes of glass. In doing so, the depth of the original shadow lines is recreated.

The use of tinted and reflective glass is not allowed. COMPARATIVE WINDOW SECTIONS Low-E glass is allowable as long as the Visual Light Transmittance or VLT is 72 or higher.
